Fast 4/spl times/4 intra-prediction mode selection for H.264

In this paper, we propose a fast intra-prediction mode selection method for JVT video coding standard H.264. Based on local edge information obtained by calculating edge feature parameters, the method can reduce the computational complexity considerably while maintaining similar PSNR and bit rate. Experimental results are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed method
