Abstract
Intra prediction is an essential part of video coding. In this work, two methods are proposed for improving intra prediction. The first contribution is a stochastic contour model for modeling and extrapolation of contours detected in the reference area. A Gaussian process is used for the modeling and a multivariate Gaussian distribution is formulated for the extrapolation. The second contribution is a neural network-based method for sample value prediction. The neural networks are used to process the adjacent reference sample values and the results of contour modeling and extrapolation as input data to generate a prediction of the sample values of the block to be coded. The neural networks were designed with an auto-encoder architecture and trained to minimize the appproximated bit rate of the prediction error. The coding efficiency of the video codec HEVC is increased by up to 5%. Averaged over all 55 test sequences, the All Intra configuration resulted in BD-rates of -0.54% for high bit rates and -1.0% for low bit rates.
