Fast macroblock encoding algorithm based on rate-distortion activity for multiview video coding

作者：

Highlights：

• Both a fast mode decision and a fast motion/disparity estimation are addressed.

• RD activity is evaluated by using the Skip/Direct RD cost and the average RD costs.

• RD activity type, RD costs and vectors are used to improve algorithm performances.

• About 91% and 95% encoding time are reduced on temporal views and inter-view views.
