Optimisation of HEVC motion estimation exploiting SAD and SSD GPU-based implementation.

The new High-Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) standard doubles the video compression ratio compared to the previous H.264/AVC at the same video quality and without any degradation. However, this important performance is achieved by increasing the encoder computational complexity. That's why HEVC complexity is a crucial subject. The most time consuming and the most intensive computing part of HEVC is...
