Abstract

The embodiments of the present invention provide for methods, devices, and systems adapted to reduce flickers introduced in the encoding process, particularly during the generation of intra-coded pictures. The method provides for the determination of flicker areas within pictures and applying a flicker-control cost function, for example, on those determined flicker areas when selecting an intra-prediction mode.
