    abstract = {In H.264/AVC video standard, inter-mode prediction technique 
  is used for reducing temporal as well as spatial redundancies by employing seven 
  variable size of MacroBlocks (MBs). To determine the best MB among the different 
  sizes the rate distortion cost is used as a determining factor. This process 
  requires relatively large amount of computation to encounter all the combinations 
  of different sizes of Mbs. Hence, a fast inter-mode decision algorithm is required 
  to reduce the computational complexity in H.264/AVC. In this study, a new fast 
  inter-mode decision algorithm is proposed in this context. The proposed method 
  reduces the number of candidate modes using direct information from the co-located 
  macroblock (s). A novel motion complexity analysis scheme is also discussed 
  in this study which is strong enough to categorize different moving objects 
  inside a MB and to make a proper decision for the best candidate mode. Experiment 
  results show that the proposed algorithm can achieve speed-up factor up to 78.70% 
  on average with negligible loss of image quality and quite good bit rate performance.}
