Abstract-This paper presents a quantization skipping method fo r H.264/AVC video coding standard. In order to reduce the computational-cos t of quantization process coming from integer discrete cosine transform of H.264 /AVC, a quantization skipping condition is derived by the analysis of integer tr ansform and quantization procedures. The experimental results show that the prop osed algorithm has the capability to reduce the computational cost about 10%～25 %.
Key words-H.264/AVC; quantization skipping; integer transform; computational-cost
