COMPLEXITY ANALYSIS OF VVC INTRA CODING

Versatile Video Coding (VVC) is the next-generation of video coding standards, which was developed to double the coding efficiency over its predecessor High-Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC). Several new coding tools have been investigated and adopted in the VVC Test Model (VTM), whose current version can improve the intra coding efficiency by 24% at the cost of a much higher coding complexity than the HEVC Test Model (HM). Thus, this paper provides a detailed VVC intra coding complexity analysis, which can support upcoming works for finding the most time-consuming tool that could be simplified to achieve a real-time encoder design.
