Intra-Prediction Rate-Distortion of Next-Generation VVC and HEVC Encoders

This paper presents an intra-prediction study comparing two software’s coding efficiency performance: the Versatile Video Coding (VVC) and the High-Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC). The VVC codec is a new video coding standard considered to improve its preceding standard HEVC (H.265). The primary goal of VVC is to enhance compression performance relative to existing standards. In this work, we establish two primary purposes; the first is to compare the complexity of these encoders, the second is to use the Bjontegaard metric for evaluating the coding efficiency compression of each standard.
