4. 2015/6/274 Intra Prediction Procedure in H.264(1/6) Three components, Y, U, and V, all use intra-prediction For Y component, two encoding types, Intra4x4 and Intra16x16, are used. For U and V components, only Intra8x8 type is used since they is usually smooth than Y.

10. 2015/6/2710 Analysis of Computational Complexity[1] H.264 video coding is based on the concept of rate distortion optimization (RDO) which means that the encoder has to encode the intra block using all the mode combinations and choose the one that gives the best RDO performance. In an MB, there are 4x(9x16+4)=592 [ M8x(M4x16+M16) ] different RDO calculations before the best RDO mode is determined. We need fast algorithm to speed up !!
