Method and device for detecting SKIP macro block

Abstract

The invention discloses a method and device for detecting an SKIP macro block, and belongs to the technical field of computers. The method comprises the steps of acquiring the SAD between a current macro block and a current matched macro block in the process of motion search, detecting whether the SAD is smaller than an SAD experience threshold value corresponding to the quantization parameter of the current macro block in a root mode, stopping the motion research conducted on the current macro block and detecting whether the SAD is smaller than a secondary threshold value if the SAD is smaller than the SAD experience threshold value corresponding to the quantization parameter, and judging the current macro block to be the SKIP macro block if the SAD is smaller than the secondary threshold value. According to the method and device, the SAD of the current macro block is calculated only once or a few times, and when the SAD is smaller than the SAD experience threshold value corresponding to the quantization parameter of the current macro block and also smaller than the secondary threshold value, the current macro block can be determined to be the SKIP macro block. The problem that in the prior art, calculated quantity is very big when the SKIP macro block is determined is solved, and the effect of greatly lowering the calculated quantity is achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of computer technology, in particular to a SKIP macroblock detection method and device. Background technique [0002] In H264 encoding, motion search accounts for more than 60% of the calculation of the entire encoding process, so improving the efficiency of motion search is of great significance to the encoding speed. A large number of statistics show that the number of residual-free macroblocks (SKIP macroblocks) in a frame of image accounts for 30-80% in non-scene switching and other pictures, so it is necessary to predict these SKIP macroblocks in advance. Make it skip the tedious process of motion search. [0003] The existing process of detecting SKIP macroblocks is as follows: first divide the current frame into macroblocks of 16 pixels*16 pixels, select a current macroblock on the current frame, and perform a motion search on the current macroblock in the reference frame. The best matching macroblock is dete...
