What is On Intra Prediction for Screen Content Video Coding about?

Screen content coding (SCC) is becoming increasingly important in various applications, such as desktop sharing, video conferencing, and remote education. When compared to natural camera- captured content, screen content has different characteristics, in particular sharper edges. In this paper, we propose a novel intra prediction scheme for screen content video. In the proposed scheme, bilinear interpolation in angular intra prediction in HEVC is selectively replaced by nearest-neighbor intra prediction to preserve the sharp edges in screen content video. We present three different variants of the proposed nearest neighbor prediction algorithm: two implicit methods where both the encoder, and the decoder derive whether to perform nearest neighbor prediction or not based on either (a) the sum of the absolute difference, or (b) the difference between the boundary pixels from which prediction is performed; and another variant where Rate-Distortion-Optimization (RDO) search is performed at the encoder to decide whether or not to use the nearest neighbor interpolation, and explicitly signaled to the decoder. We also discuss the various underlying trade-offs in terms of the complexity of
