Saliency Map Technique for Reducing Processing Time in HEVC with the Help of MATLAB

Innovations in the communication systems have shown extraordinary change in the last decade. Technology in communication systems has transformed so fast in the Digital systems and hence Video traffic is getting dominating on both the wireless and wireline networks. HEVC is the High Efficiency Video Coding Standard used to reduce the video Compression rate so that the quality of the video is maintained with the proper bit-rate. In HEVC, the bit rate is reduced by half with respect to the previous standards but at the same time it increases the timing complexity which in turn reduces its functionality. The research presented here proposes a reduced complexity HEVC encoder by making use of SVM Classifier with the help of Saliency Map Technique. A new technique is implemented for reducing Timing complexity in HEVC. The results show reduction in complexity in terms of processing time for different videos sequences, with acceptable PSNR and bit-rates.
