Claim 10:
11. An encoder for encoding arrays of information samples into a data stream, each array representing a picture into a data stream, the encoder comprising:
a data stream generator configured for
encoding, into 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 determined based on one or more coding parameters associated with a candidate region,
wherein if an indication is to compute, the at least one coding parameter is computed based on the one or more coding parameters, which includes:
determining a prediction of the at least coding parameter based on one of the one or more coding parameters, and
combining the prediction and a prediction residual of the at least one coding parameter to obtain the at least one coding parameter, and

encoding, into the data stream, the one or more coding parameters associated with the candidate region and the prediction residual of the at least one coding parameter.
