Abstract:
1. A method for inter-mode prediction in video coding, the method comprising: checking a data block of an image for zero motion; computing frame difference of the data block based on the checking for zero motion; and making an inter-mode prediction selection based on the computed frame difference, wherein the inter-mode prediction selection comprises selecting a block size for coding, based on the computed frame difference; checking a homogeneity of the data block; and making the inter-mode prediction selection based on the checking of the homogeneity of the data block; wherein making the inter-mode prediction selection further based on the checking of the homogeneity of the data block further comprises making the inter-mode selection based on intra-mode prediction selection, and wherein the intra-mode prediction selection comprises a vertical versus horizontal intra-mode prediction selection.
