I/P frame selection using classification based mode decision

There are many mode decisions in the video coding process that are used to optimize the performance in terms of the bit rate, the speed and the quality of the decoded video. We describe a classification based scheme for making mode decisions in the video coding process. We then illustrate the performance of the scheme using I/P frame selection as an example. The performance of our scheme is measured in terms of both the bit rate and the computation complexity, across different kinds of sequences, and the results are very encouraging
