An Efficient Inter Mode Decision Method for MVC

Mode decision method plays an important role in multiview video coding for improving the coding efficiency. In this paper, an efficient inter mode decision method based on inter-frame modes statistical analysis is presented. By utilizing the correlation factor, the inter 8 × 8 mode is early skipped. The proposed algorithm can achieve a large reduce of the computational complexity with negligible loss of PSNR. Experimental results show the validity of our algorithm.
