The invention discloses an intra-frame prediction mode rapid self-
adaptation selection method based on an HEVC standard. The intra-frame prediction mode rapid self-
adaptation selection method based on the HEVC standard comprises the steps of (1) carrying out SATD rough selection on a current prediction unit, (2) adding a prediction mode of a left side unit of the current prediction unit and a prediction mode of a front prediction unit of the current prediction unit, (3) carrying out ascending sort on SATD cost values of candidate prediction
modes, (4) comparing a specific value, obtained by comparing a difference value of every two adjacent cost values and a mid-value of the cost values, and a fixed threshold value, determining a candidate prediction mode in a self-
adaptation mode, and (5) selecting a prediction mode corresponding to a minimum value of an RDO cost value of the final candidate prediction mode to serve as an optimum prediction mode. The intra-frame prediction mode rapid self-adaptation
selection method based on the HEVC standard mainly solves the problem that existing intra-frame
mode selection of the HEVC standard is high in
computation complexity. The intra-frame prediction mode rapid self-adaptation selection method based on the HEVC standard is simple in selection scheme, reduces the time for
image compression by 25%-31% under the premise that
image compression performance is approximately unchanged, provides the technological base for real-time realization of the HEVC standard, and can be widely applied to all the processes of intra-frame optimum prediction
mode selection, based on the HEVC standard, of video compression encoding terminals.
