  • Patent number: 11882290
    Abstract: According to one implementation, a method receives input data related to a current block in a current picture at a video encoder side or receiving a video bitstream comprising coded data of the current block at a video decoder side. When hen the MIP mode is applied to the current block, the method checks availability for a target reference boundary region comprising left reference boundary samples and top reference boundary samples, wherein the left reference boundary samples and the top reference boundary samples are checked jointly for the current block. The method further performs a padding process if an unavailable sample exists in the target reference boundary region, wherein the unavailable sample is padded with a default value or a sample value of an available sample and derives a reduced predictor, and encodes or decodes the current block using a MIP predictor derived from the reduced predictor.
