Abstract: Editor's note: High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC), also known as H.265 and MPEG-H Part 2, is a video compression standard. An efficient hardware for 3D-HEVC depth-map intraprediction is discussed in the article. The authors show an insight view to the hardware realization and the very promising results in terms of throughput and latency.--Michael Hüner, Brandenburg University of Technology.
