Abstract:
Several methods and systems for encoding pictures are disclosed. In an embodiment, a method comprises dividing an LCU of a picture into a plurality of MERs having size equal to or less than a predetermined size. For one or more MERs of the plurality of MERs, a number of first motion searches are performed for determining a first quad-tree based on a cost function associated with a first plurality of PUs of the one or more MERs. A number of second motion searches are performed for the LCU, for determining a second quad-tree, based on the cost function associated with a second plurality of PUs of the LCU. The first quad-tree or the second quad-tree is selected for performing encoding of the picture based on a comparison of a first cost of the first quad-tree with a second cost of the second quad-tree.

Claim (Index 13):
The system of  claim 9 , wherein the processing module is further configured to:\n determine a merge candidate list comprising a plurality of merge MV candidates associated with one or more PUs, the one or more PUs being determined from among the first plurality of PUs and the second plurality of PUs;\n perform a third motion search at the one or more merge MV candidates from among the plurality of merge MV candidates so as to determine a plurality of third MVs, the plurality of third MVs being determined based on the cost function associated with the one or more MV merge candidates; and \n select an MV from among the plurality of third MVs and the corresponding first and second plurality of MVs based on a comparison of the third plurality of MVs with the corresponding first and second plurality of MVs.
