  2. PROPOSAL • To improve the coding efficiency of intra frame coding, up to 34 intra prediction modes are defined in High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) [1] • The best mode among these pre-defined intra prediction modes is selected by rate-distortion optimization (RDO) for each block • This project proposes a new method to reduce the candidates in RDO process, as it will be time-consuming if all directions are tested in the RDO process when compared with the default method of intra prediction in HM 13.0. • Also analysis of PSNR, BD- PSNR, BD- Bitrate can be done by comparing with the default encoding scheme in HM 13.0 [5].

  3. INTRODUCTION • HEVC standard [2] provides a highly flexible hierarchy of unit representation which consists of three block concepts: coding unit (CU), prediction unit (PU), and transform unit (TU). • This separation of the block structure is helpful for each unit of optimization. • CU is a macroblock-like unit of region splitting which is always square and its size can be from 8x8 luma samples up to the largest coding units (LCUs). • The PU is used only for the CU which is the leaf node in the Quadtree structure and the size of two PUs are 2Nx2N and NxN. • The third block concept transform unit size cannot exceed that of the CU.

  7. Since encoder needs to exhaust all the combinations of CU, PU and TU to find the optimal solutions, it is very time-consuming • The encoder will not tolerate it if all the directions are employed in the rate-distortion optimization process • To reduce the computational complexity of the encoder, a fast intra mode decision [4] was adopted in HM13.0 [5]

  8. CODING TREE ALGORITHM

  9. OVERVIEW OF INTRA PREDICTION • In H.264, intra prediction [6][7][8][9] is based on spatial extrapolation of samples from previously decoded image blocks, followed by integer discrete cosine transform (DCT) [10] based coding • HEVC utilizes the same principle, but further extends it to efficiently represent wider range of textural and structural information in images • HEVC contains several elements improving the efficiency of intra prediction over earlier solutions

  12. METHOD PROPOSED FOR FAST MODE DECISON ALGORITHM FOR INTRA PREDICTION • The fast intra prediction consists of three steps: • HadamardTransformed Coefficients Of Residual Signal[13] • Progressive Mode Search[13] • Early RDOQ Termination[13]

  20. CONCLUSION For the HM13.0 with fast mode decision algorithm method compared to unmodified HM13.0, • 0.1-0.5 dB loss in the PSNR • 11-15 kbps increase in the bitrate • 20-28 % reduction in encoding time WQVGA – SD sequences of 10 frames and 30 frames each were tested from QPs 24, 28,32,34. Visual quality was maintained.

  21. Future Work • BD-PSNR and BD-bitrate can be compared for default method and proposed method • Also proposes a new method to reduce the candidates in RDO process, as it will be time-consuming if all directions are tested in the RDO process.
