Patent number: 11463684Abstract: A decoding-side first generation unit generating, for a target unit, a first component prediction sample. A decoding-side linear prediction unit using the first component sample and a prediction coefficient to generate a linear prediction sample of a second component. A decoding-side second generation unit using the second component linear prediction sample to generate, for the target unit, a second component prediction sample. The decoding-side linear prediction unit uses a first coefficient as the prediction coefficient when the first component sample is equal to or below a threshold value, and uses a second coefficient, different from the first, as the prediction coefficient when the first component sample is greater than the threshold value. The threshold value is set on a parameter representing a distribution or change in a reference sample of the first component and/or the second component contained in a reference unit referenced for the target unit.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2019Date of Patent: October 4, 2022Assignee: KDDI CORPORATIONInventors: Yoshitaka Kidani, Kei Kawamura, Haruhisa Kato, Sei Naito
