Abstract
A method for coding a coding unit that is coded with a single sample value is provided. The method selects a coding pattern from at least two predetermined coding patterns, each of which includes a plurality of boundary neighboring samples of the coding unit that have been reconstructed, and decodes the coding unit according to a value of at least one of the plurality of boundary neighboring samples of the selected coding pattern that is available.
Claims20
A method for decoding a coding unit which is coded with a single sample value, comprising:
- selecting, by a processing system, a coding pattern from at least two predetermined coding patterns, each of the at least two coding patterns comprising at least one of the positions of boundary neighboring samples that have been reconstructed, wherein a boundary neighboring sample is a boundary sample of a neighboring coding unit of the coding unit;
- and
- decoding, by the processing system, the coding unit, if at least one of the boundary neighboring samples indicated by the corresponding positions comprised in the selected coding pattern is available, according to a value of the at least one of the boundary neighboring samples indicated by the selected coding pattern.
An apparatus for decoding a coding unit that is coded with a single sample value, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing programming for execution by the processor, the programming comprising instructions to:
- select a coding pattern from at least two predetermined coding patterns, each of the at least two coding patterns comprising at least one of the positions of boundary neighboring samples that have been reconstructed, wherein a boundary neighboring sample is a boundary sample of a neighboring coding unit of the coding unit;
- and
- decode the coding unit, if at least one of the plurality of boundary neighboring samples indicated by the corresponding positions comprised in the selected coding pattern is available, according to a value of the at least one of the boundary neighboring samples indicated by the selected coding pattern.
