Compared　with　H.　264/AVC,　the　newly　published　High　Efficiency　Video　Coding　(HEVC)　standard　improves　the　intra　prediction　by　introducing　much　more　prediction　modes　and　novel　techniques,　which　brings　great　computational　burden.　Although　the　rough　mode　decision　(RMD)　scheme　in　HEVC　provides　a　way　to　speed　up　the　process,　it　does　not　consider　the　similarity　of　neighboring　modes　to　reduce　the　number　of　candidate　modes.　In　this　paper,　we　introduce　a　combined　strategy　for　HEVC　in　intra　prediction　by　utilizing　parent　PU　candidate　list,　early　termination　of　candidate　list　and　mode　group　generation.　Experimental　results　show　that　the　proposed　fast　mode　decision　scheme　significantly　reduce　the　computation　complexity　with　slight　BD-rate　increase,　compared　with　the　standard　HM-9.0.
