In this paper, an efficient cost function for mode decision in H.264/AVC is proposed. The proposed cost function is based on integer transform coefficients, where the rate and the distortion are jointly modeled by the number of nonzero quantized coefficients, the sum of absolute integer transformed differences (SAITD) and sum of squared integer transformed differences (SSITD). Comparing to the high-complexity...
