Intra-Picture Prediction Processor with Dual Stage Computations

Abstract

An intra-picture prediction processor includes a first stage processing block to process incoming video data to identify intermediate intra-picture prediction information including a best intra-picture prediction angle and a best intra-picture block size. A second stage processing block operating on reconstructed blocks of video data selects final intra-picture prediction information for the reconstructed blocks of video data based upon the best intra-picture prediction angle and the best intra-picture block size.
