METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR REDUCING COMPUTATIONAL COMPLEXITY IN VIDEO ENCODERS

摘要

A method and apparatus for reducing computational complexity in a video encoder system. The method can include receiving transformed video block data coefficients, setting a threshold, determining if at least one transformed video block data coefficient's magnitude is greater than the threshold, performing subsequent compression functions if the at least one transformed video block data coefficient's magnitude is greater than the threshold, and bypassing subsequent compression functions if none of the transformed video block data coefficients' magnitudes are greater than the threshold.
