Abstract

This paper proposes a fast intra prediction algorithm for the High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC). HEVC has 35 modes, such as DC mode, Planar mode, and 33 angular modes for the intra-prediction. To reduce the complexity and to support fast decision for intra prediction, this paper proposes a hierarchical mode decision method (HMD). The proposed HMD mainly focuses on how to reduce the number of prediction modes. The experimental results show that the proposed HMD can reduce the encoding time about 39.17% with little BDBR loss. On average, the proposed HMD can achieve the encoding time saving e about 14.13 ~ 19.37% compared to that of the existing algorithms with slightly increasing 0.01 ~ 0.42% BDBR.
