Abstract

Techniques for efficient determination of a macroblock's spatial predictability quality with respect to the H.264 specification are provided. A device comprises a processor operable to estimate a first subset of spatial prediction modes based on a first pixel subset of a current subblock of an intra-frame. The processor is also operable to estimate a second subset of spatial prediction modes based on a second pixel subset of the current subblock. The first subset of prediction modes is different from the second subset of prediction modes.
