Improved Intra Prediction Coding Scheme Based on Minimum Distance Prediction for H.264/AVC
Qingbo Wu, Linfeng Xu, Zhengning Wang · IEICE Transactions on Information and Systems · 2013
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.
