JVET-AE0120 Non-EE2: Intra Angular Prediction Extension [J. Fu, J. Zhang, C. Jia, S. Ma (PKU)] [late]
In the ECM, current angular intra prediction is based on linear projection. 1 of 67 intra prediction modes is chosen to be the angle of projection, and the location of reference pixel are calculated, then the value of predicting pixel is calculated through 6-tap intra filter and the value of reference pixel.
In this contribution, it is proposed to extend the current linear projection function into quadratic projection function that takes two intra prediction modes. When two intra prediction modes are belonging to the set of vertical intra prediction mode, the location of reference pixel is inferred by the location of predicting pixel and the quadratic function generated by two intra prediction modes.
This document illustrates test results of the proposed method.
On top of the ECM-9.0, simulation result of the proposed method is reported as:
- AI: -0.02%, -0.01%, 0.21%, 124.6%, 107.9%
The coding gain was low, and not consistent for the classes. The run time was much too large.
This was an interesting idea, but not relevant for action as long as the performance is not better.
