Claim 15:
16. A system, comprising:
an image sensor configured to generate a frame of image data;
a block generator connected to the image sensor and configured to receive the frame of image data and divide the frame of image data into a plurality of blocks, wherein each block comprises a plurality of sub-blocks; and
an encoder configured to generate a prediction block,
wherein generating the prediction block comprises:
generating: a first predicted value for a first sub-block, a second predicted value for a second sub-block, and a third predicted value for a third sub-block;
replacing: the first predicted value with a first replica value, the second predicted value with a second replica value, and the third predicted value with a third replica value; and
generating a fourth predicted value for a fourth sub-block using the first, second, and third replica values.
