Abstract

Intra picture coding using HEVC is very efficient and is applied to video as well as single image compression. However, the cost for this high compression efficiency is the complexity caused by the high number of 35 available coding modes. Existing methods for fast mode decision estimate the mode costs based on the prediction error samples. This paper proposes a smart method to exclude the 33 angular prediction modes of HEVC even before prediction, if they are unlikely to deliver a small prediction error. The sensitivity of excluding these modes can be adjusted by a threshold. Completely disregarding the angular modes leads to a very high bitrate increase compared to the unmodified encoder of almost 18% with a time saving of 51%. However, excluding the modes using an exemplary threshold value, the encoding time can be reduced by more than 20%, accompanied by a bitrate increase of only 0.7%.
