Fast Screen Content Coding in HEVC Using Machine Learning

Screen Content (SC) videos require proper tools to handle their special characteristics since they include repeated regions, sharp edges, and limited number of colors. Therefore, SC extension to High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) standard has been released for this purpose. SC extension has new too...
