This paper presents a early mode decision algorithm, which is proposed to reduce the complexity of the mode selection process for enhancement layers in H.264 Scalable Video Coding. The proposed algorithm consists of the following three main steps. We firstly divide all the macroblocks into 4 classes according to the mode of collocated macroblocks in the base layer. Then, the macroblocks are subdivided with trained BP (Back Propagation) network according to the mode of neighboring macroblocks. Finally, we choose different mode selection algorithms for different divided cases, and check whether the algorithms are agreeable. Compared to JSVM 9.18, experiment results show that, with this algorithm, 30% encoding time can be saved with a negligible loss in BDSNR, and BDBR can be significantly reduced.
