Intra Prediction Offset Compensation for Improving Video Coding Efficiency

Multiple Line-based Intra Prediction for High Efficiency Video Coding

Traditional intra prediction usually utilizes the nearest reference line to generate the predicted block when considering strong spatial correlation. However, this kind of single line-based method does not always work well due to at least two issues. One is the incoherence caused by the signal noise or the texture of other object, where this texture deviates from the inherent texture of the cur...

Improving Intra Pixel prediction for H.264 video coding

Fast intra-encoding algorithm for High Efficiency Video Coding

The emerging High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) standard provides equivalent subjective quality with about 50% bit rate reduction compared to the H.264/AVC High profile. However, the improvement of coding efficiency is obtained at the expense of increased computational complexity. This paper presents a fast intra-encoding algorithm for HEVC, which is composed of the following four techniques. ...

Derivation for Adaptive Scan of Intra Prediction in Video Coding

H.264 [1] and AVS [2] are the emerging state-of-art video coding standards, in which the block-based hybrid coding framework is employed. DCT or its approximation such as Integer Cosine Transform (ICT) is the centerpiece for signal decorrelation and energy compaction. After DCT, the transform coefficients are quantized and scanned into one-dimensional (1-D) signals, named run-level pairs. The k...

Regression-based Intra-prediction for Image and Video Coding

By utilizing previously known areas in an image, intra-prediction techniques can find a good estimate of the current block. This allows the encoder to store only the error between the original block and the generated estimate, thus leading to an improvement in coding efficiency. Standards such as AVC and HEVC describe expert-designed prediction modes operating in certain angular orientations al...
