An efficient FPGA-based architecture for the HEVC intra prediction
Résumé
A novel hardware architecture for the High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) intra prediction is
presented in this paper, aiming to reduce the computation complexity coming with this module
and to accelerate the concerned calculations. We propose a new pipelined structure that we
named Processing Element (PE) to execute all angular modes, and we repeat it in five paths
which compose our architecture. We propose also another structure perform the Planar mode.
This architecture supports all intra prediction modes for all block sizes. The synthesis results
show that our solution can run at 213 MHz for FPGA Xilinx Virtex 6 and is capable to process
real time 120 1080p FPS or 30 4K FPS.
