Intra Compression Efficiency in VP9 and HEVC

In this paper we get into detailed overview of intra compression data-flow in HEVC and VP9. We describe common and unique stages of both standards. Then we carry out experiments with JCT-VC HM and WebM VP9 encoders on intra compression efficiency.
We also turn some of the HEVC features off to get its dataflow as close to VP9 as possible. Finally we get into discussion of the efficiency of both codecs, the corresponding standards and their intra compression algorithms.
