IPC: H04N19/593
Filed: 2015-01-29
Abstract: Encoding an image, comprising the encoding of directional prediction mode information for encoding a block of pixels according to an Intra coding mode. A candidate for a most probable mode (MPM) is defined to be the mode information of a neighbour block adjacent to the current block if it exists 1001-1003, 1005-1007. If this neighbour block exists and has been encoded using a screen content coding mode (such as Intra Block Copy or Palette mode encoding) 1052, 1050, then a candidate most probable mode is set to the horizontal 1053 or vertical 1051 directional prediction mode. Preferably, two candidate most probable modes are derived, one from the block adjacent to the left 1005 of the current block and one from the block above 1001 the current block. If the left block does not exist, the first candidate may be set to the horizontal mode. If the block above does not exist the second candidate may be the vertical mode. Preferably, if a neighbour block is encoded using a screen content mode, further candidates may be derived, where a derived planar mode is replaced by the horizontal mode and a DC mode is replaced by a vertical mode.
