Video bitstream coding
A method of decoding JVET video includes receiving a bitstream indicating how a coding tree unit was partitioned into coding units, and parsing said bitstream to generate at least one predictor based on an intra prediction mode signaled in the bitstream. The predictor may be generated by interpolating neighboring pixels for each pixel within a coding block. The computation may be more accurate by deriving a value for a bottom right neighboring pixel.
1. A method for predicting pixel values each of which having a respective position x, y for a current coding block based upon neighboring pixel locations that form a first array of horizontal pixels on an upper side of the current coding block and a second array of vertical pixels on a left side of the current coding block the method configured to:
calculate a first predictor for a pixel in the current coding block based upon a first value which is determined by a summation of (i) a height of said coding block, (ii) minus 1, (iii) minus y; a second value determined by said first value multiplied by a value of a pixel location of said pixel locations on said upper side of the current coding block at horizontal position x; a third value which is determined by a summation of (i) y, (ii) plus 1; a fourth value determined by said third value multiplied by a value of a pixel location of said pixel locations on said left side of the current coding block at a vertical position of said height of said coding block; said first predictor based upon a summation of said second value and said fourth value;
calculate a second predictor, different from the first predictor, for the pixel in the current coding block based upon a fifth value which is determined by a summation of (i) a width of said coding block, where said height of said coding block is different than said width of said coding block, (ii) minus 1, (iii) minus x; a sixth value determined by said fifth value multiplied by a value of a pixel location of said pixel locations on said left side of the current coding block at a vertical position y; a seventh value which is determined by a summation of (i) x, (ii) plus 1; an eighth value determined by said seventh value multiplied by a value of a pixel location of said pixel locations on said upper side of the current coding block at a horizontal position of said width of said coding block; said second predictor based upon a summation of said sixth value and said eighth value; and
derive a prediction pixel value from the first and second predictors, wherein a plurality of prediction pixel values make up a prediction block.
