Abstract
As the quality and quantity of shared video content increases, video encoding standards and techniques are being developed and improved to reduce bandwidth consumption over telecommunication and other networks. One technique to reduce bandwidth consumption is intra-prediction, which exploits spatial redundancies within video frames. Each video frame may be segmented into blocks, and intra-prediction may be applied to the blocks. However, intra-prediction of some blocks may rely upon the completion (e.g., reconstruction) of other blocks, which can make parallel processing challenging. Provided are exemplary techniques for improving the efficiency and throughput associated with the intra-prediction of multiple blocks.
