Abstract
An intra-prediction module includes a candidate screening preprocessor configured to process blocks of picture data based on intra-prediction candidate data corresponding to a plurality of pixels of the blocks. The intra-prediction candidate data indicates a first subset selected from a plurality of intra-prediction partitions and a second subset selected from a plurality of intra-prediction modes. The processing includes screening the intra-prediction candidate data to generate screened intra-prediction candidate data that indicates a third subset selected from a plurality of intra-prediction partitions and a fourth subset selected from a plurality of intra-prediction modes. A rate distortion optimization processor determines final intra-prediction data, based on the screened intra-prediction candidate data.
