Abstract

The article presents a comparison of the Intra prediction algorithms in the current state-of-the-art video coding standards, including MJPEG 2000, VP8, VP9, H.264/AVC and H.265/HEVC. The effectiveness of techniques employed by each standard is evaluated in terms of compression efficiency and average encoding time. The compression efficiency is measured using BD-PSNR and BD-RATE metrics with H.265/HEVC results as an anchor. Tests are performed on a set of video sequences, composed of sequences gathered by Joint Collaborative Team on Video Coding during the development of the H.265/HEVC standard and 4K sequences provided by Ultra Video Group. According to results, H.265/HEVC provides significant bit-rate savings at the expense of computational complexity, while VP9 may be regarded as a compromise between the efficiency and required encoding time.
