  • Patent number: 11019332
    Abstract: A video coder selects a set of wide-angle intra prediction directions based on a size of a luma block of a picture having a YUV 4:2:2 chroma sampling format. Additionally, the video coder determines an intra prediction direction for the luma block. The intra prediction direction for the luma block is in the set of wide-angle intra prediction directions. The video coder also determines an intra prediction direction for a chroma block. The luma block is collocated in the picture with the chroma block. The chroma block has a different width/height ratio than the luma block. The intra prediction direction for the chroma block is guaranteed to have the intra prediction direction for the luma block. The video coder uses the intra prediction directions for the luma and chroma blocks to generate prediction blocks for the luma and chroma blocks, respectively.
