Abstract: Video decoder and/or video encoder, configured to determine a set of search area location candidates in a reference picture of a video; match the set of search area location candidates with a current template area adjacent to a current block of a current picture to obtain a best matching search area location candidate; select, out of a search area positioned in the reference picture at the best matching search area location candidate, a set of one or more predictor blocks by matching the current template area against the search area; and predictively decode/encode the current block from/into a data stream based on the set of one or more predictor blocks.

Abstract: Decoder for decoding a picture, wherein blocks into which the picture is subdivided are assigned to a set of prediction types, which include intra prediction and inter prediction. For each of predetermined intra-predicted blocks, the decoder is configured to derive, from the data stream, an information on a partitioning of the respective predetermined intra-predicted block into partitions. The decoder is configured to derive, from the data stream, for each partition of the respective predetermined intra-predicted block, a partition-specific prediction residual signal related to a spatial domain prediction residual signal of the respective partition of the respective predetermined intra-predicted block via a predetermined transform. The predetermined transform can be identified out of a set of transforms including a first transform and a second transform, which equals a concatenation of a primary transform and a secondary transform applied onto a subset of coefficients of the primary transform.

Abstract: In an encoder and a decoder for Region Based Intra Block Copy, the encoder may be configured for block-based encoding a picture into a data stream, and the decoder may be configured for block-based decoding a picture from a data stream. The encoder and decoder may further be configured to determine for a current block of the picture a difference between a first predetermined block and a second predetermined block inside a block search area. The encoder may encode the difference into the data stream and the decoder may derive the difference from the data stream. According to the innovative principle, the encoder and the decoder may be configured to partition the block search area into multiple block search regions.

Abstract: Concepts for predictive picture coding using template matching are presented which may, for a given computation complexity, result in an increased coding efficiency.
