H.264/AVC based near lossless intra codec using line-based prediction and modified CABAC

In this paper, we propose a new H.264/AVC based intra codec for near lossless coding. The proposed algorithm is composed of two parts: line-based intra prediction and modified context-based adaptive binary arithmetic coding (CABAC). Experimental results show that the proposed method provides about 8.95% bit savings, compared to the current H.264/AVC FRExt high profile.
