Abstract:
Disclosed herein are exemplary embodiments of innovations in the area of encoding pictures or portions of pictures and determining whether and how certain encoding operations should be performed and flagged for performance by the decoder in the bitstream. In particular examples, various implementations for selectively encoding picture portions (e.g., blocks) in a skip mode (e.g., as in the skip mode of the H.265/HEVC standard) are disclosed. Embodiments of the disclosed techniques can be used to improve encoder efficiency, decrease overall encoder resource usage, and/or improve encoder speed. Such embodiments can be used in encoder modes in which efficient, fast encoder performance is desired (e.g., during encoding of live events, such as video conferencing).

Claim (Index 1):
One or more computer-readable memory or storage devices storing computer-executable instructions which when executed by a computing device causes the computing device to perform encoding operations comprising:\n encoding a picture in a video sequence using a block-based encoding process in which a core transform is selectively applied to one or more blocks of the picture; and outputting a bitstream including the encoded picture, wherein the encoding of the picture in the video sequence comprises, for a current block of the picture being encoded: performing a simplified transform to the current block of the picture, the simplified transform including fewer computations than the core transform; evaluating whether the current block is to be encoded in a skip mode using results of the performed simplified transform that include fewer computations than the core transform; and encoding the current block according to the evaluation.
