  • Patent number: 10958901
    Abstract: A method of decoding an encoded data stream representing at least one image subdivided into blocks. The method includes, for a current block of the image, and for each of at least two prediction modes available to predict the current block, obtaining a predictive block associated with the available mode; building a list having at least one of the available modes; for at least one mode included in the list, called a current mode, determining a distance measurement between the predictive block associated with the current mode and the other predictive blocks associated with the other available modes and obtained for the current block; modifying the list modified as a function of the determined measurement; decoding information identifying, for the current block, a prediction mode from the modified list from the encoded data stream; and rebuilding the current block from the predictive block associated with the identified prediction mode.

  • Patent number: 10812814
    Abstract: A method for decoding a coded data stream representative of at least one image, the image being divided into blocks, a set of at least two prediction modes being available for predicting a current block. The method includes: obtaining at least two categories of prediction modes from the set; eliminating at least one category in accordance with at least one first predetermined elimination criterion; updating the categories not eliminated by deleting prediction modes that are common with the at least one eliminated category; and decoding, from the data stream, an information identifying for the current block a prediction mode among the modes of the updated categories.

  • Publication number: 20190075319
    Abstract: In one embodiment of the disclosure, it is proposed a method for encoding of at least one picture, said at least one picture being decomposed into a set of blocks. Such method comprises an encoding of at least one block of said set of blocks using intra prediction, and said at least one block comprises pixel values corresponding to either the luma component (L) or chroma components (Cb or Cr). The encoding of said at least one block comprises: obtaining (1301) a set of local minimum and local maximum pixel values within said at least one block; encoding (1302) at least one position information of said pixels corresponding to local minima and local maxima within said at least one block; encoding (1303) pixel values of said set of local minimum and local maximum pixel values.
