APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR COMPUTATIONALLY EFFICIENT INTRA PREDICTION IN A VIDEO CODER

摘要

A computer readable storage medium has executable instructions to select a plurality of blocks in a video sequence to be coded as intra-coded blocks. Intra prediction modes are selected for all intra-coded blocks in a macroblock based on original pixels of neighboring blocks. The mode selection of all intra-coded blocks can be conducted in parallel. The intra-coded blocks in the macroblock are predicted with the selected intra prediction modes based on reconstructed pixels of neighboring blocks.
