Intra prediction with enhanced inpainting method and vector predictor for HEVC

As the successor to H.264/AVC, High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) will provide 50% reduction on compression data compared to H.264/AVC. In this paper, we propose an intra prediction method based on inpainting algorithms and vector predictor for HEVC. Our method utilizes a combination of two important inpainting algorithms: Laplace partial differential equation (PDE) and total variation (TV) model. Experiment results show that, compared to HEVC Test Model (HM) 2.0, our proposal achieves an average of 1.65% bitrate reduction.
