A fast mode decision algorithm is proposed to reduce the complexity in high efficiency video coding(HEVC)encoder. The potential effects of frame texture and its related quantization parameter on the final decision of optimal coding unit(CU)modes is considered
and the average depth of the previous frame and the minimum depth of its related large coding unit(LCU)are extracted to estimate the minimum depth of collocated LCU in the current frame to skip partial larger CUs in mode decision process. Then the maximum depth for current CU is determined by calculating the parameters of motion vector difference and predicting residues so that the unnecessary mode decision of smaller CUs can be avoided. Experimental results and comparisons with the conventional HEVC show that the proposed algorithm for HEVC achieves an average bit-rate increment of 0.69% whereas the coding complexity has a significant reduction of about 51%.
