Patent ID: 10230981

Abstract:
A method is performed by a CODEC (coder/decoder) for Intra prediction mode processing based on multiple MPMs (most probable modes) in video coding. The method includes operations of determining a first Intra mode associated with a left neighboring block of a current block; determining a second Intra mode associated with a top neighboring block of the current block; deriving three MPMs based on the first Intra mode and the second Intra mode, and processing a current Intra mode associated with the current block according to said three MPMs. The step of deriving said three MPMs based on the first Intra mode and the second Intra mode includes: determining whether the first Intra mode is identical to the second Intra mode; and if the first Intra mode is identical to the second Intra mode, deriving said three MPMs according to whether the first Intra mode is identical to a predetermined mode.
