Publication number: 20130294511Abstract: Encoder, decoder and methods for intra coding of video. The method in the decoder relates to decoding of an intra coded block IZ having a number N of neighboring blocks CU1-CUN. When at least one block CUk of the number of neighboring blocks is unavailable for intra prediction, pixel values for spatial positions covered by CUk are estimated based on at least one pixel value of at least one of blocks CUk?m and CUk+p within the range [CU1-CUk?1, CUk+1-CUN] of blocks, which is available for intra prediction. Further, the block IZ is decoded, using the estimated pixel values for prediction, thus generating a block Z of pixels. k, m and p are integers, and 1?k?N; 1?m?k; and 1?p?N?k; and N is a positive integer.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 12, 2012Publication date: November 7, 2013Applicant: TELEFONAKTIEBOLAGET L M ERICSSON (PUBL)Inventors: Rickard Sjöberg, Jonatan Samuelsson, Per Wennersten
