Abstract
Scalable High-Efficiency Video Coding (SHVC) is an extension of High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC). Since the coding procedure for HEVC is very complex, the coding procedure for SHVC is even more complex, it is very important to improve its coding speed. In this paper, we have proposed a fast mode and depth decision algorithm for Intra prediction of Quality SHVC. Initially, only partial modes are checked to determine the local minimum points (LMPs) based on the relationships between the modes and their corresponding Hadamard Costs (HC); and then only partial depths are checked by skipping depths with low possibilities indicated based on their inter-layer correlations and textural features. The experimental results showed that the proposed algorithm could improve coding speed by 61.31% on average with negligible coding efficiency losses.
