Patent ID: 10499053

Abstract:
A method of Intra prediction filtering to determine whether to turn on or off the Intra prediction filter based on interleaved Intra prediction mode sets implicitly is disclosed. In one embodiment, initial Intra prediction block is derived based on neighboring reconstructed pixels of the current block. If the Intra prediction filter is on for the current Intra prediction mode, the Intra prediction filter is applied to the initial Intra prediction block to form a filtered Intra prediction block and Intra prediction encoding or decoding is applied to the current block using the filtered Intra prediction block as a predictor for the current block. For example, Intra gradient filter can be applied for even modes of Intra prediction modes from v to (v+8) and/or from h and (h+8). Bi-directional Intra prediction filter can be applied to some or all other modes.
