Adaptive Intra Candidate Selection With Early Depth Decision for Fast Intra Prediction in HEVC.

To better exploit spatial correlations in a video frame, the High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) standard has adopted a great many more intra prediction modes than H.264/AVC. As a result, the complexity of rate-distortion-optimized (RDO) HEVC intra mode selection is very high. Many techniques have been proposed to expedite the intra mode selection process to achieve a better overall tradeoff betwe...
