초록

다시점 영상 부호화는 시점 간에 변이 정보를 활용하여 부호화 효율을 향상시키기 위해 개발되었다. 하지만 다시점 영상 부호화는 변이 예측 때문에 높은 계산복잡도를 가진다. 본 논문은 다시점 영상 부호화의 계산 시간을 감소시키기 위한 비기준 화면의 빠른 모드결정 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 기법은 2단계 과정을 수행한다. 계층적인 B 화면 구조의 기준 화면은 비기준 화면의 예측모드 선택과 높은 상관성을 가진다. 따라서 첫 번째 단계에서, 비기준 화면의 예측모드는 기준 화면의 매크로블록 영역을 이용함으로써 선택된다. 두 번째 단계에서, 우리는 7개 블록 크기의 Inter 예측모드의 참조 방향에서 높은 상관성을 이용하여 Inter 예측모드의 참조방향을 선택한다. 제안하는 기법으로 실험한 결과는 부호화 효율에 큰 손실 없이 부호화 시간에서 평균 약 44% 감소시킬 수 있었다.

The Multi-view Video Coding (MVC) which is exploiting disparities between views has been developed to improve the coding efficiency of multi-view video. But MVC has a problem of having high computing complexities because of disparity estimation. This paper propose a fast mode decision for non-anchor picture to reduce the computational time of MVC. The proposed method uses two phases. Anchor pictures in hierarchical B picture structure have a higher correlation with prediction mode selection of non-anchor pictures, so in the first phase, prediction mode of non-anchor pictures is selected by exploiting the macro-block regions in anchor picture. In the second phase, we select a reference direction of inter prediction mode exploiting a higher correlation among reference directions of inter prediction modes of 7 block sizes. Experimental results show that the proposed method could save average about 44% in the encoding time with negligible coding efficiency losses.
