METHOD AND APPARATUS OF SINGLE SAMPLE MODE FOR VIDEO CODING

摘要

A method and apparatus of video coding including a Single Sample Mode are disclosed. Embodiments according to the present invention construct a sample candidate list comprising one or more sample candidates from previously reconstructed neighboring samples of the current depth block or the current texture block. A sample candidate is selected from the sample candidate list and the selected sample candidate is used as reconstructed samples for the current depth block or the current texture block. A sample candidate index indicating the selected sample candidate can be signaled at the encoder side or parsed at the decoder side. Alternatively, the sample candidate index can be derived implicitly.
