Abstract: The latest High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) standard achieves significant compression efficiency improvement over the H.264 standard, at a much higher cost of computational complexity. A framework for software-based H.264 to HEVC transcoding on multicore processors and distributed systems is provided. By utilizing information extracted from the input H.264 bitstream, the transcoding process can be accelerated at a high ratio with modest visual quality loss. Wavefront Parallel Processing (WPP) and SIMD acceleration are also implemented to improve the trans coding efficiency on multi-core processors with SIMD instruction set extensions. Based on the HEVC HM 12.0 reference software and using standard HEVC test bitstreams, the proposed transcoder can achieve around 120× speed up over decoding and re-encoding based on ffmpeg and the HM software without significant R-D performance loss.

Abstract: The emerging High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) standard achieves significant performance improvement over H.264/AVC standard at a cost of much higher complexity. An H.264/AVC to HEVC transcoder is described for multi-core processors implementing Wavefront Parallel Processing (WPP) and SIMD acceleration, along with expedited motion estimation (ME) and mode decision (MD) by utilizing information extracted from the input H.264/AVC stream. Experiments using standard HEVC test bitstreams show that the described transcoder may achieve a 70× speed up over the HEVC HM S.1 reference software (including H.264 encoding) at very small rate distortion (RD) performance loss.
