When　the　current　block　is　at　the　very　edge　of　the　moving　objects　or　on　the　boundary　between　two　objects,　the　existing　intra　prediction　modes　can　not　present　the　difference　of　the　neighboring　pixels　well.　This　paper　presented　a　distance　based　intra　prediction　method　in　video　coding　to　solve　this　problem.　The　authors　used　the　pixels　up　to　the　current　macroblock　to　make　a　reference　which　would　express　the　changes　in　vertical　direction　to　create　vertical　matrix　of　distance　in　horizontal　intra　mode.　Similarly,　the　authors　used　the　correlation　of　the　pixels　left　to　the　current　macroblock　to　create　horizontal　matrix　of　distance　in　vertical　intra　mode.　Based　on　the　different　correlation　according　to　different　distances,　the　authors　changed　5　intra　modes　referred　to　the　distance　based　on　the　method.　The　experimental　results　show　that　video　sequences　with　different　resolution　can　be　compressed　effectively　with　these　new　intra　prediction　modes.
