Abstract:
A favorable merging or grouping of simply connected regions into which the array of information samples is sub-divided, is coded with a reduced amount of data. To this end, a predetermined relative locational relationship is defined enabling an identifying, for a predetermined simply connected region, of simply connected regions within the plurality of simply connected regions which have the predetermined relative locational relationship to the predetermined simply connected region. Namely, if the number is zero, a merge indicator for the predetermined simply connected region may be absent within the data stream. In other embodiments, spatial sub-division is performed depending on a first subset of syntax elements, followed by combining spatially neighboring simply connected regions depending on a second subset of syntax elements, to obtain an intermediate sub-division.

Claim (Index 9):
A method for decoding a data stream comprising an array of information samples, the method comprising:\n extracting, from a data stream, a candidate identifier which identifies a specific one of a set of candidate regions for a current region being decoded within the array of information samples, wherein the current region is one of a plurality of regions obtained by dividing the array of information samples; selecting the specific one of the set of candidate regions as a selected candidate region for the current region in accordance with the candidate identifier; determining whether the current region is to be reconstructed by copying or computing a first coding parameter based on a second coding parameter associated with the selected candidate region; copying, if a determination is to copy, the first coding parameter from the second coding parameter; computing, if the determination is to compute, the first coding parameter based on a prediction of the first coding parameter using the second coding parameter and a prediction residual of the first coding parameter; and reconstructing the current region based on the first coding parameter.
