摘要
En 中文
In High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC), excellent rate-distortion (RD) performance is achieved in part by having a flexible quadtree coding unit (CU) partition and a large number of intra-prediction modes. Such an excellent RD performance is achieved at the expense of much higher computational complexity. In this paper, we propose a learned fast HEVC intra coding (LFHI) framework taking into account the comprehensive factors of fast intra coding to reach an improved configurable tradeoff between coding performance and computational complexity. First, we design a low-complex shallow asymmetric-kernel CNN (AK-CNN) to efficiently extract the local directional texture features of each block for both fast CU partition and fast intra-mode decision. Second, we introduce the concept of the minimum number of RDO candidates (MNRC) into fast mode decision, which utilizes AK-CNN to predict the minimum number of best candidates for RDO calculation to further reduce the computation of intra-mode selection. Third, an evolution optimized threshold decision (EOTD) scheme is designed to achieve configurable complexity-efficiency tradeoffs. Finally, we propose an interpolation-based prediction scheme that allows for our framework to be generalized to all quantization parameters (QPs) without the need for training the network on each QP. The experimental results demonstrate that the LFHI framework has a high degree of parallelism and achieves a much better complexity-efficiency tradeoff, achieving up to 75.2% intra-mode encoding complexity reduction with negligible rate-distortion performance degradation, superior to the existing fast intra-coding schemes.
