MUMBAI, India, June 26 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202527099106 A) filed by Mediatek Inc. on October 14, 2025, for Blended Candidates For Cross-Component Model Merge Mode.
Inventors include Tseng, Hsin-Yi; Tsai, Chia-Ming; and Hsu, Chih-Wei.
The application for the patent was published on June 19, 2026, under issue no. 25/2026.
Abstract: A video coder constructs one or more cross-component prediction (CCP) merge candidate lists for a current block in a current picture of a video having a first-color block and a second-color block. The candidate lists comprise one or more regular candidates and one or more blended candidates. Each regular candidate is associated with a set of CCP parameters and each blended candidate indicates two or more regular candidates. The video coder selects a blended candidate from the one or more CCP merge candidate lists. The video coder generates a blended prediction of the second-color block based on two or more cross-component predictions that are generated by applying the two or more regular candidates indicated by the selected blended candidate to a reconstruction of the first-color block by intra-prediction referring to samples adjacent to or neighboring the current block. The video coder uses the generated blended prediction to encode or decode the current block.
