The significant increase in performance of this standard has been achieved with high computational complexity. In this standard, the intra prediction unit is one of the parts that although it greatly improves performance, it significantly increases its computational complexity due to the increase in the number of prediction modes. In this paper, a method has been proposed to reduce the number of intra prediction modes in HEVC by which the computational complexity of compression at this stage can be reduced as much as possible. The proposed method determines the predominant mode of 4 × 4 blocks, and the details in each larger block, and accordingly, by applying the appropriate filters and selecting the most likely mode, the number of candidate modes to select the best mode is reduced. The simulation results showed that on average the proposed method can reduce the compression time by 45% while increasing the bit rate by 0.69%.}, number={3}, journal={Majlesi Journal of Electrical Engineering}, publisher={OICC Press}, author={Mirian, Zahra and Ramezanpour, Mohammadreza}, year={2024}, month={Feb.}, keywords={Langmuir Wave, HEVC, Intra prediction, Computational complexity, prediction block, Peltier element, transition mode, piecewise linear function, Spectral method} }
