Claim 15:
16. The apparatus according to claim 10, wherein the circuitry is configured to:
detect, separately for reference sample positions disposed vertically with respect to the current image region and for reference sample positions disposed horizontally with respect to the current image region, whether samples corresponding to any of the two or more parallel linear arrays of reference samples are unavailable for use in the prediction of samples of the current region; and
if any of the two or more parallel linear arrays of reference samples are unavailable for reference sample positions disposed vertically with respect to the current image region or the reference sample positions disposed horizontally with respect to the current image region inhibit selection of a candidate prediction operation dependent upon the reference samples of the two or more parallel linear arrays of reference samples.
