Intra-Picture Prediction in HEVC

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC)

Part of the book series: Integrated Circuits and Systems ((ICIR))

Abstract

The intra prediction framework of HEVC consists of three steps: reference sample array construction, sample prediction, and post-processing. All the three steps have been designed to achieve high coding efficiency while minimizing the computational requirements in both the encoder and decoder. The set of defined prediction modes consists of methods modeling various types of content typically present in video and still images. The HEVC angular prediction provides high-fidelity predictors for objects with directional structures, and the additional planar and DC prediction modes can effectively model smooth image areas.
