Abstract
The Screen Content Coding (SCC) is an extension of High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC), and it achieves significant improvement on compression ratio. However, the obtained coding efficiency is at the cost of high computational complexity. In this paper, to reduce the computation complexity, we propose to use an ensemble classifier for predicting the coding unit (CU) in intra-coding. Firstly, the L1-loss based linear support vector machine (SVM) is employed as basic classifier for its simplicity. Then, a bagging scheme is applied to train the linear classifiers and boost the prediction accuracy by ensemble learning. Compared with the reference software SCM-5.0, the proposed scheme can achieve 30% complexity reduction on average with only 1.64% bit rates increase.
