The previous AZBs detection algorithms are reviewed. Three types of transformed frequency-domain coefficients, which are quantized to zeros, are analyzed. Based on the three types of frequencydomain scaling factors, the corresponding spatial coefficients are derived. Then the Schwarz inequality is applied to the derivation of the three thresholds based on spatial coefficients. Another threshold is set on the basis of the probability distribution of zero coefficients in a block. As a result, an adaptive AZBs detection algorithm is proposed based on the minimum of the former three thresholds and the threshold of zero blocks distribution. The simulation results show that, compared with the existing AZBs detection algorithms, the proposed algorithm achieves a 5% higher detection ratio in AZBs and 4% to 10% computation saving with only 0. 1 dB video quality degradation.展开更多

According to the characteristics of integer transform and motion search in H.26L, all-zero macroblock decision is made in inter frame coding by comparing Sum of the Absolute Differences(SAD) with a value related with Quantization Parameter(QP)before integer transform. It avoids a large amount of computation in motion search, transform and quantization. This technology highly improves the efficiency of real time H.26L encoder by skipping all-zero macroblock before integer transform and shortening the code stream at the same time.展开更多

In this paper, a fast inter-mode decision method is presented to reduce computation complexity of an H.264 encoder. By detecting the best matching block （BMB） before transform and quantization, some coding modes can be skipped and the corresponding encoding steps can be omitted for these BMBs. Meanwhile this method can also be used to detect all-zero blocks. The experimental results show that this method achieves consistently significant reduction of encoding time while keeping almost the same rate-distortion performance.展开更多

Firstly, the handover probability distribution is established considering multiple conditions including signal strength, bit error rate, blocking probability and user demands, and accordingly the prior handover probability is calculated. Secondly, the posterior probability based on Bayesian decision algorithm is got. Finally, the optimal access network is selected according to the decision strategy based on posterior probability. Simulation results indicate that the proposed algorithm not only effectively achieves vertical handover among WLAN, WiMAX and LTE with the least number of handovers, but also keeps high average network load, which can provide the users with good service quality.展开更多

It reuses the sum of absolute difference of 4x4 block obtained from motion estimation or intra prediction as parameters so that the determination threshold need to be computed only once when quantization parameter (QP) is invariable for given video sequence. This method avoids a lot of computation for transform, quantization, inverse transform, inverse quantization and block reconstruction. Simulation results showed that it can save about 20%～50% computation without any video quality degradation.展开更多

In order to reduce complexity of the encoder to dedicate more resources to other functions, according to the study of existing methods, an Improved All Zero Block Finding (IAZBF) method based on the statistic characteristics of DCT coefficients is proposed. Compared with existing methods, IAZBF improves the detecting efficiency by about 50% without importing too much extra computation requirement. Being computed with additions and shifts instead of complicated multiplications, IAZBF is of low computation complexity, especially for low-end processors. In addition, IAZBF upholds picture fidelity and remains compatible with the H.263 bitstream standard.展开更多
