Abstract: This paper proposes a thumbnail quality enhancement algorithm that uses a predefined weight table. Conventional thumbnail extraction algorithms in high efficiency video coding use a simple downsampling method to produce thumbnail images with low complexity, resulting in thumbnail quality deterioration. The proposed algorithm estimates the original average values of each thumbnail pixel using a weighted average value of several pixels, based on intra-mode direction. The proposed method improves the visual quality of thumbnail images while maintaining low complexity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
