  • Method and apparatus for coding mode selection
    Patent number: 8498330
    Abstract: Method and apparatus for providing a fast and accurate video coding process are disclosed. After checking the coding history of certain coded video frame units of a video, the order of the inter prediction and the intra prediction is adaptively exchanged for each coding video frame unit of an inter frame. Furthermore, the computations for coding modes in the latter part of the computation order are selectively skipped so as to speed up the coding process without degrading the video quality.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 29, 2009
    Date of Patent: July 30, 2013
    Assignee: Hong Kong Applied Science and Technology Research Institute Company Limited
    Inventors: Yan Ho Kam, Wan Chi Siu, Yui Lam Chan, Wai Lam Hui, Wai Hong Wong, Ka Man Cheng, Yan Huo
