Abstract:
1. A method for intra prediction of a macroblock, said method comprising: in a video device, partitioning a macroblock into a first plurality of blocks and a second plurality of blocks, wherein said first plurality of blocks comprises at least two blocks and said second plurality of blocks comprises at least two blocks; predicting the pixel values in each block in said first plurality of blocks using reconstructed pixels from only reconstructed macroblocks; predicting the pixels values in each block in said second plurality of blocks using reconstructed pixels from only said reconstructed macroblocks and any of said blocks in said first plurality of blocks; determining a first plurality of block residuals associated with said first plurality of blocks; determining a second plurality of block residuals associated with said second plurality of blocks; signaling said first plurality of block residuals; and signaling said second plurality of block residuals.
