In this letter, we propose a novel intra prediction coding scheme for H.264/AVC. Based on our proposed minimum distance prediction (MDP) scheme, the optimal reference samples for predicting the current pixel can be adaptively updated corresponding to different video contents. The experimental results show that up to 2dB and 1dB coding gains can be achieved with the proposed method for QCIF and CIF sequences respectively.
