In order to meet the trend and consumer demands for video information, the ISO/IEC group and ITU-T video encoding expert group have cooperated in making the new video encoding standard of HEVC. It defines 35 Intra prediction modes and thus has a very high encoding complexity. In order to reduce this complexity, this paper has proposed a new algorithm to effectively reduce the number of the candidate mode which needs to be checked. The edge detection and Hough transform are utilized for the prediction unit (PU) with different sizes. Statistical analysis is utilized for the detected edge line angles to decide the candidate modes that need to be checked. The C++ and OpenCV language have been utilized for the implementation of the proposed algorithm. The proposed algorithm can reduce the encoding time by 43.72 percent at most and 17.06 percent at least with just little increase of the code rate and small decrease of the PSNR.

Abstract Currently, many High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) video steganography algorithms based on Intra Prediction Mode (IPM) have been proposed. However, the existing IPM-based video steganalysis algorithms are almost designed for H.264/AVC videos, without considering the unique coding techniques in HEVC, which is the latest video codec standard. Thus, it is of significant value to study IPM-based steganalysis for HEVC videos. In this paper, the general process of IPM-based HEVC steganography is modelled for the first time, and we find that the basic distortion existing in the change of the relationships between each embedded IPM and the adjacent IPMs. By exploiting these weaknesses, we propose a novel IPM steganalysis algorithm based on the Relationship of Adjacent IPMs (RoAIPM) feature. In detail, the RoAIPM is extracted by generating different directional Gray-Level Co-occurrence Matrixes (GLCMs) and texture characteristics of three refilled matrixes: MPM-IPM matrix, Left-IPM matrix and Up-IPM matrix. Experimental results show that, the proposed RoAIPM feature is very sensitive to the little change introduced by IPM-based steganography. Regardless of whether the feature is after dimension reduction or not, in various coding conditions, the proposed steganalysis can both present a well higher detection accuracy against the latest IPM-based HEVC steganography methods and achieve the lowest computational complexity compared with the state-of-the-art works.

The newly approved High Efficiency Video Coding Standard (HEVC) includes temporal sub-layering feature, which provides temporal scalability. Two types of pictures — Temporal Sub-layer Access Pictures and Step-wise Temporal Sub-layer Access Pictures are provided for this purpose. This paper utilizes the temporal scalability in HEVC to provide bandwidth adaptive HTTP streaming. We describe our HTTP streaming algorithm, which is media timeline aware and which dynamically switches temporal sub-layers on the server side. We performed subjective tests to determine user perception regarding acceptable frame rates when using temporal scalability of HEVC. These results are used to control the algorithm's temporal switching behavior to provide a good quality of experience to the user. We applied Internet and 3GPP error-delay patterns to validate the performance of our algorithm.

Intra prediction is a key step in H.264/AVC to improve the coding performance with the idea that removing the directional redundancy among neighboring blocks. In order to cover more directional information existed in the image frames, there are usually many prediction modes can be selected in the state-of-the-art coding frameworks, but more bits are also needed to encode the prediction mode index information, then how to achieve the maximum overall bit-rate reduction became a problem. In this paper, 16 kinds of prediction modes are adopted by considering the direction information for 8x8 image blocks. Through calculating the bit-rate both for the mode index and residual image under different number of prediction modes, we obtain the most suitable prediction mode number relatively from the graphs. Experimental results show that, with the increase of prediction mode number, the residual information decreases obviously, and the sum of residual information and prediction mode index information also decreases but levels off after reaching a certain mode number, even has an obviously rising trend.

AbstractWith the advent of smartphones and tablets, video traffic on the Internet has increased enormously. With this in mind, in 2013 the High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) standard was released with the aim of reducing the bit rate (at the same quality) by 50% with respect to its predecessor. However, new contents with greater resolutions and requirements appear every day, making it necessary to further reduce the bit rate. Perceptual video coding has recently been recognized as a promising approach to achieving high-performance video compression and eye tracking data can be used to create and verify these models. In this paper, we present a new algorithm for the bit rate reduction of screen recorded sequences based on the visual perception of videos. An eye tracking system is used during the recording to locate the fixation point of the viewer. Then, the area around that point is encoded with the base quantization parameter (QP) value, which increases when moving away from it. The results show that up to 31.3% of the bit rate may be saved when compared with the original HEVC-encoded sequence, without a significant impact on the perceived quality.

Rate Control Algorithm

This paper presents a novel rate control scheme designed for the newest high efficiency video coding (HEVC) standard, and aimed at enhancing the quality of regions of interest (ROI) for a videoconferencing system. It is designed to consider the different regions at both frame level and coding tree unit (CTU) level. The proposed approach allocates a higher bit rate to the region of interest while keeping the global bit rate close to the assigned target value. The ROIs, typically faces in this application, are automatically detected and each CTU is classified in a region of interest map. This binary map is given as input to the rate control algorithm and the bit allocation is made accordingly. The algorithm is tested, first, using the initial version of the controller introduced in HEVC test model (HM.10), then, extended in HM.13. In this work, we first investigate the impact of differentiated bit allocation between the two regions using a fixed bit rate ratio in intra-coded frames (I-frames) and Bidirectionally predicted frames (B-frames). Then, unit quantization parameters (QPs) are computed independently for CTUs of different regions. The proposed approach has been compared to the reference controller implemented in HM and to a ROI-based rate control algorithm initially proposed for H.264 that we adopted to HEVC and implemented in HM.9. Experimental results show that our scheme has comparable performances with the ROI-based controller proposed for H.264. It achieves accurate target bit rates and provides an improvement in region of interest quality, both in objective metrics (up to 2 dB in PSNR) and based on subjective quality evaluation.
