Description / Abstract:
This part of ISO/IEC 14496 specifies the encoding tools that
enhance both the execution and quality for the coding of visual
objects as defined in ISO/IEC 14496-2. The tool set is not limited
to visual objects but at this point all the recommended tools are
visual encoding tools. There are four tools that have been
described in this technical report.
- Fast Motion Estimation
- Fast Global Motion Estimation
- Fast and Robust Sprite Generation
- Fast Variable Length Decoder Using Hierarchical Table
Lookup
These tools have been demonstrated as robust tools with source
codes for both MoMusys and Microsoft implementations. In the
current implementations, there is single software that includes all
tools existed in the ISO/IEC 14496-2. This is obviously inefficient
in terms of code size and execution speed. To address this issue,
the optimized reference software has compilation switches such that
only selected tools as defined by the profiles and levels are
included. Such level of optimization is performed at high level
programming language. The platform specific optimization is
currently not addressed by this part.
