Claim 0:
1. A decoder for decoding arrays of information samples encoded in a data stream each array representing a picture, the decoder comprising:
an extractor configured for extracting, from the data stream, a merge indicator with respect to a current region within an array of information samples, wherein the merge indicator is indicative of whether the current region is to be reconstructed based on at least one coding parameter that is determined based on one or more coding parameters associated with a candidate region; and
a reconstructor configured for
computing, if an indication is to compute, the at least one coding parameter based on the one or more coding parameters, the computing including:
determining a prediction of the at least coding parameter based on one of the one or more coding parameters,
extracting, from the data stream, a prediction residual of the at least one coding parameter, and
combining the prediction and the prediction residual of the at least one coding parameter to obtain the at least one coding parameter, and

reconstructing the current region based on the at least one coding parameter.
