In this paper, we propose a method for compressing the phase component of a full-complex hologram. The JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) Pleno is undergoing standardization for compressing full-complex holograms. If the full-complex hologram is compressed in the form of amplitude and phase components, the three-dimensional information of the hologram may be better preserved. Therefore, in order to solve the disadvantages of the method of independently compressing real and imaginary parts, we propose a method for directly compressing phase information. We select the HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding), which has the best performance in compressing holograms from previous studies, as the anchor codec, and propose an algorithm for converting the phase information into the form suitable for the HEVC. Since the phase component is very random, we propose a modified phase unwrapping technique to improve this. In addition, in order to make good use of the property of HEVC Intra coding, the phase unwrapping considering Intra prediction is applied, and the most suitable HEVC Intra coding condition is searched. Compared with the result of compressing the phase using the HEVC, the hologram was improved by 2 dB or more and the reconstruction result was improved by more than 4 dB at a compression ratio of 80:1. If the compression ratio is increased, the proposed method has better results.

High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) has achieved about 50% bit-rates saving compared with its predecessor H.264 standard, while the encoding complexity increases dramatically. Due to the introduction of more flexible partition structures and more optional prediction directions, HEVC takes a brute force approach to find the optimal partitioning result which is much more time consuming. Therefore, this paper proposes a bagged trees based fast approach (BTFA) and focuses on the coding unit (CU) size decision for HEVC intra-coding. First, several key features of a target CU are extracted for three-output classifiers. Then, to avoid feature extraction and prediction time over head, our approach is designed frame-wisely, and the procedure is applied parallel with the encoding process. Using the adaptive threshold determination algorithm, our approach achieves 42.04% time saving with negligible 0.92% Bit-Distortion (BD)-rate loss. Furthermore, in order to calculate the optimal thresholds to balance BD-rate loss and complexity reduction, the neural network based mathematical fitting is added to BTFA, which is called the advanced bagged trees based fast approach (ABTFA). Finally, experimental results show that ABTFA achieves 47.87% time saving with only 0.96% BD-rate loss, which outperforms other state-of-the-art approaches.

High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) is the next generation video coding standard. In HEVC, 35 intra prediction modes are defined to improve coding efficiency, which result in huge computational complexity, as a large number of prediction modes and a flexible coding unit (CU) structure is adopted in CU coding. To reduce this computational burden, this paper presents a gradient-based candidate list clipping algorithm for Intra mode prediction. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can reduce 29.16% total encoding time with just 1.34% BD-rate increase and –0.07 dB decrease of BD-PSNR.

High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) is the most recent video coding standard. It can achieve a significantly higher coding performance than previous video coding standards, such as MPEG-2, MPEG-4, and H.264/AVC (Advanced Video Coding). In particular, to obtain high coding efficiency in intra frames, HEVC investigates various directional spatial prediction modes and then selects the best prediction mode based on rate-distortion optimization. For further improvement of coding performance, this paper proposes an enhanced intra prediction method based on adaptive coding order and multiple reference sets. The adaptive coding order determines the best coding order for each block, and the multiple reference sets enable the block to be predicted from various reference samples. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves better intra coding performance than the conventional method.
