Popis: In high efficiency video coding (HEVC) standard, residuals are partitioned into variable-size transform units, and integer cosine transforms (ICTs) of order-4, 8, 16, and 32 are adopted to optimize the coding performance. Order-64 ICT is not used due to its high complexity and limited gain in general coding applications. This paper proposes a set of low-complexity ICTs (LCICTs), from order-8 to order-64, which have fully factorizable structures. LCICTs achieve similar coding performance as the state-of-art methods on HEVC Test Model 13 while requiring lower complexity, e.g., 71% fewer multiplications than the partially factorizable ICTs in the order-64 case. Moreover, we find that order-64 ICTs achieve around 1% average bitrate reduction at high quantization parameters.
