Advanced intra prediction based on optimal linear predictors for weakly-predicted subspace

The performance of intra coding is important in many broadcasting and professional applications, because repeated insertion of intra frames usually requires a large portion of video data. In order to improve such intra coding performance, this paper proposes an advanced intra prediction scheme, systematically increasing prediction precision via optimal linear predictors for weakly-predicted subspace. Experimental results show that the proposed scheme outperforms the conventional and the recent best intra prediction methods by up to 11.41% and 9.08% of bitrate reduction, respectively.
