Abstract
Systems and methods for improving operational efficiency of a video encoding system used to encode image data are provided. In embodiments, a video encoding system includes image processing circuitry configured to receive source image data and derive full-resolution image data and low-resolution image data from the source image data. The video encoding system also includes a low resolution pipeline configured to receive the low-resolution image data and determine one or more low resolution inter prediction modes based on the low-resolution image data. Furthermore, the video encoding system includes a main pipeline configured to encode the full-resolution image data based on the one or more low resolution inter prediction modes.
