Abstract

Intra coding with quadtree partition structure is a critical feature in the new High Efficiency Video Coding standard and it also causes a dramatic increase in computational complexity. In this paper, based on the visual saliency detection, an efficient CU splitting method is proposed for HEVC intra coding to reduce the complexity of computation. Experimental results show that the proposed method can reduces the coding complexity of the current HM to about 46.15% with only 0.1791% increases in BD rate and 0.0542 dB PSNR losses.
