For adaptive streaming applications, low-complexity and accurate video complexity features are necessary to analyze the video content in real time, which ensures fast and compression-efficient video streaming without disruptions. State-of-the-art video complexity features are Spatial Information (SI) and Temporal Information (TI) features which do not correlate well with the encoding parameters in adaptive streaming applications. To this light, Video Complexity Analyzer (VCA) was introduced, determining the features based on Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT)-energy. This paper presents optimizations on VCA for faster and energy-efficient video complexity analysis. Experimental results show that VCA v2.0, using eight CPU threads, Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD), and low-pass DCT optimization, determines seven complexity features of Ultra High Definition 8-bit videos with better accuracy at a speed of up to 292.68 fps and an energy consumption of 97.06% lower than the reference SITI implementation.
