Abstract:
1. A method for determining a predicted first image region used for prediction of a to be predicted second image region of a current image, comprising: determining a temporal predictor for the second image region based on a reconstructed predecessor image temporally preceding the current image, whereby the temporal predictor points to a third image region in the reconstructed predecessor image; determining a local predictor for the second image region within a reconstructed image region of the current image, whereby the local predictor points to a fourth image region within the reconstructed image region of the current image, with a minimal degree of error determined between the second image region and a predicted first image region on basis of the third image region of the temporal predictor and the fourth image region of the local predictor; and determining the predicted first image region by the fourth image region of the determined local predictor that uses the reconstructed image region of the current image and by the third image region of the determined temporal predictor that uses the reconstructed predecessor image.
