  • Publication number: 20240114127
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices implement intra-prediction for hexagonally-sampled compression and decompression of videos and images having a regular grid of hexagonally-shaped pixels. For encoding, a prediction unit (PU) shape is selected at a sequence level from the group consisting of parallelogram, zigzag-square, hexagonal super-pixel, a rectangular zigzag and an arrow, and the hexagonally-sampled image is divided into regions based on the PU shape. For each region: a prediction mode and a PU size are determined; reference pixels are determined for each predicted pixel in the PU shape based on the prediction mode; a weighted factor is determined for each of the reference pixels based on a distance between the reference pixel and the predicted pixel; and a predicted value of each of the predicted pixels in the PU shape is determined using the corresponding reference pixels and the weighted factors.
