Book excerpt: Multimedia applications have become an integral part of our daily life through their use in mobile communications, video conferencing, entertainment and more. Multimedia includes video and audio data transfer, of which video data communication is a more complex process and consumes greater bandwidth. Hence, developing low complexity/low-power methods to transmit, receive and store video data has always been an area of immense research. The state of the art video coding technique is called the H.264 coding standard, proposed by the Joint Video Team [1]. Several methods have been proposed to optimize the complexity of the H.264 coding process with a graceful degradation in video quality. This thesis describes a method for reducing the complexity of the H.264 coding process while maintaining compliance to the existing standard and yielding an acceptable video quality.
