Abstract

Rate-distortion optimized quantization (RDOQ) is an important technique in the video coding standard, which effectively improves encoding efficiency. However, the large compute complexity and the strong data dependency in the RDOQ calculation process limit the real-time encoding in hardware design. In this paper, a fast RDOQ algorithm is proposed, which includes the RDOQ skip algorithm and the optimized rate estimation algorithm. Firstly, by detecting the Pseudo all-zero block (PZB) in advance, some unnecessary RDOQ processes are skipped, thereby reducing the computational complexity. Secondly, by optimizing the elements used in rate estimation of the RDOQ process, the strong data dependency of the process is alleviated, which allows RDOQ to be executed in parallel. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm reduces 27.6% and 30.6% encoding time with only average 0.3% and 0.1% BD-rate performance loss under low delay P and random access configurations on the HPM-4.0.1 of AVS3, respectively.
