Virtual Reality (VR) 360 degree video has ultra-high definition. Reducing the coding complexity becomes a key consideration in coding algorithm design. In this paper, a novel candidate mode pruning process is introduced between Rough Mode Decision and Most Probable Mode based on the statistical analysis of the intra-coding parameters used in VR 360 degree video coding under Cubemap projection (CMP) format. In addition, updated coding bits thresholds for VR 360 degree video are designed in the proposed algorithm. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm brings 38.73% and 23.70% saving in average coding time at the cost of only 1.4% and 2.1% Bjontegaard delta rate increase in All-Intra mode and Randomaccess mode, respectively.
