HEVC Fast CU Decision for Intra-Prediction by CNN

High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) is also know as H.265 was first official introduced in 2013, it is one of the video coding standard of the ITU-T Video Coding Experts Group and the ISO/IEC Moving Picture Experts Group. In the original algorithm, the coding unit depth decision was made by applying a recursive search from top depth 0 to bottom depth 3 on all possible quad-tree structures. Therefore this algorithm is considered to be very time consuming and computational expensive. In my research, I have compared two different methods of reducing the computational complexity for HEVC by using Neural Networks, and propose a new structure of neural network and provide the corresponding result
