BLOCK FLIPPING AND SKIP MODE IN INTRA BLOCK COPY PREDICTION

摘要

Innovations in the area of encoding or decoding of blocks using intra block copy (“BC”) prediction improve coding efficiency for intra-BC-predicted blocks in many situations. For example, some of the innovations relate to block flipping in which an intra-BC-predicted block is flipped relative to a reference region, which can be indicated by a block vector (“BV”) value. Other innovations relate to signaling of a skip mode in which a current intra-BC-predicted block uses a signaled BV differential but lacks residual data.
