Method and apparatus for intra-prediction coding of video data

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a bitstream containing encoded data for blocks of video data, the bitstream being generated by processes of:

• encoding, into a bitstream, a syntax element indicating an intra-prediction type of a current luma block of the video data, the intra-prediction type being indicated from among matrix based intra-prediction (MIP) and regular intra-prediction;
• and
• generating a prediction block for the current luma block by selectively performing the MIP or the regular intra-prediction based on the intra-prediction type of the current luma block,
• wherein the generating of the prediction block for the current luma block by performing the regular intra-prediction includes:
• determining a regular intra-prediction mode for the current luma block,
• deriving Most Probable Mode (MPM) candidates based on a regular intra-prediction mode of each of neighboring blocks adjacent to the current luma block to configure an MPM list for the current luma block, wherein the regular intra-prediction mode of the neighboring block is set as a PLANAR mode when an intra-prediction type of the neighboring block is the MIP;
• and
• encoding, into the bitstream, at least one syntax element indicating the regular intra-prediction mode for the current luma block based on the MPM list, and
• wherein, when the MIP is performed on the current luma block, and the intra-prediction mode of the current luma block is used as an intra-prediction mode of a chroma block corresponding to the current luma block, the regular intra-prediction mode for the current luma block is set as the PLANAR mode, and
• wherein the generating of the prediction block for the current luma block by performing the MIP includes:
• encoding, into the bitstream, a syntax element indicating an MIP mode for the current luma block;
• deriving a boundary vector using neighboring samples adjacent to the current luma block based on a width and a height of the current luma block;
• generating predicted samples for the current luma block based on matrix-vector multiplication between the boundary vector and a matrix predefined for the MIP mode;
• and
• deriving the prediction block for the current luma block based on the predicted samples, and
• wherein the deriving of the boundary vector using the neighboring samples adjacent to the current luma block includes:
• encoding, into the bitstream, a syntax element indicating a concatenation order of first entries of the boundary vector derived from the left neighboring samples adjacent to the current luma block and second entries of the boundary vector derived from the above neighboring samples adjacent to the current luma block;
• and
• concatenating the first entries and the second entries according to the concatenation order and thereby generating the boundary vector.
