METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR INTER-PICTURE COST COMPUTATION

摘要

A method and an apparatus for inter-picture cost computation are provided. The inter-picture cost computation apparatus includes an original difference calculation module, a before-compensation difference calculation module, an inter-picture cost computation module, and a compensation module. The original difference calculation module calculates original differences between first original pixels at the first frame time and second original pixels at the second frame time. The before-compensation difference calculation module calculates before-compensation differences between first compensated pixels at the first frame time and reconstructed pixels at the second frame time. The inter-picture cost calculation module calculates an inter-picture cost according to the sample adaptive offset (SAO) compensation value, the original differences, and the before-compensation differences. The compensation module compensates the reconstructed pixels according to the SAO compensation value when the inter-picture cost is a minimum.
