Abstract

Disclosed are a colour component prediction method, an encoder, a decoder, and a storage medium. The method includes: determining adjacent reference pixels of a current block in a picture; constructing a subset of adjacent reference pixels according to the adjacent reference pixels, wherein the subset of adjacent reference pixels contains a part of the adjacent reference pixels; and calculating model parameters of a prediction model according to the subset of adjacent reference pixels, wherein the prediction model includes N prediction sub-models, the N prediction sub-models correspond to N groups of model parameters, and the prediction sub-models are used to perform, through corresponding model parameters, cross-component prediction of colour components to be predicted, and N is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2.
