METHOD FOR PREDICTING A BLOCK OF PIXELS FROM AT LEAST ONE PATCH

摘要

The present invention generally relates to a method for predicting a block of pixels from at least one patch comprising a block of pixels and a causal neighborhood around this block of pixels. The method comprises the following steps: determining a mapping of a causal neighborhood, around that block of pixels to be predicted, on the block of pixels to be predicted in order that the block of pixels of each patch is best predicted by mapping the neighbourhood of that patch on the block of pixels of that patch, and predicting the block of pixels from a prediction block computed by applying the determined mapping on the neighbourhood of the block of pixels to predict.
