Abstract

Over the last decade a lot of research and development efforts have gone into designing competitive video coding standards for several kinds of applications. Some video encoders like MPEG-4 and H.26L, exhibit a high computational cost, far from real-time encoding, with medium to high quality video sequences. So, for these kinds of video coding standards, it is very difficult to find software solutions able to code video in real-time. In this paper, we design a parallel version of the ITU-T H.26L video coding standard, showing different implementation approaches and evaluate their performance.
