Intra Encoding Complexity Control with a Time-Cost Model for Versatile Video Coding
For the latest video coding standard Versatile Video Coding (VVC), the encoding complexity is much higher than previous video coding standards to achieve a better coding efficiency, especially for intra coding. The complexity becomes a major barrier of its deployment and use. Even with many fast encoding algorithms, it is still practically important to control the encoding complexity to a given level. Inspired by rate control algorithms, we propose a scheme to precisely control the intra encoding complexity of VVC. In the proposed scheme, a Time-PlanarCost (viz. Time-Cost, or T-C) model is utilized for CTU encoding time estimation. By combining a set of predefined parameters and the T-C model, CTU-level complexity can be roughly controlled. Then to achieve a precise picture-level complexity control, a framework is constructed including uneven complexity pre-allocation, preset selection and feedback. Experimental results show that, for the challenging intra coding scenario, the complexity error quickly converges to under 3.21%, while keeping a reasonable time saving and rate-distortion (RD) performance. This proves the efficiency of the proposed methods.
