  • Publication number: 20230276048
    Abstract: Techniques for block wise encoding and decoding may be applied to encoders, decoders, and methods for encoding or decoding. In one example, there is provided a technique to decode or encode a predetermined block of the picture by assigning, based on a first signalization in the data stream, the predetermined block to a first set or a second set; sorting the assigned set of intra-prediction modes according to intra-prediction modes used for neighboring blocks, neighboring the predetermined block, to obtain a list of intra prediction modes; deriving, for the predetermined block, from the data stream, an index into the list of intra prediction modes; and predicting the predetermined block using an intra prediction mode onto which the index points.

  • Publication number: 20230039672
    Abstract: Techniques for encoding/decoding of video signals are described, e.g. implemented in decoders, encoder, methods and non-transitory storage units storing instructions to perform the methods. A decoder or encoder may be configured to predict a predetermined block of the picture using a plurality of neighbouring samples by reducing the plurality of neighbouring samples to obtain a reduced set of samples values lower, in number of samples, than compared to the plurality of neighbouring samples, subjecting the reduced set of sample values to a linear or affine linear transformation to obtain predicted values for predetermined samples of the predetermined block.
