MUMBAI, India, Sept. 22 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202618077552 A) filed by Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft Zur Frderung Der Angewandten Forschung E. V. on June 23, 2026, for Intra-Prediction Mode Concept For Block-Wise Picture Coding.
Inventors include Pfaff, Jonathan; Helle, Philipp; Merkle, Philipp; Stallenberger, Bjrn; Siekmann, Mischa; Winken, Martin; Wieckowski, Adam; Samek, Wojciech; Kaltenstadler, Stephan; Schwarz, Heiko Filed On; Marpe, Detlev; and Wiegand, Thomas.
The application for the patent was published on September 18, 2026, under issue no. 38/2026.
Abstract: there is disclosed an apparatus (14-1, 54-2) for block-wise decoding a picture (10) from a data stream (12) and/or encoding a picture (10) into a data stream (12), the apparatus supporting at least one intra-prediction mode according to which the intra-prediction signal for a block (136, 172) of a predetermined size of the picture is determined by applying a first template (130, 170) of samples which neighbours the current block onto a neural network (80). The apparatus may be configured, for a current block (18) differing from the predetermined size, to: resample (134, 166) a second template (60) of samples neighboring the current block (18), so as to conform with the first template (130, 170) so as to obtain a resampled template (130, 170); apply (138a, 170a, 44-1, 44-2) the resampled template (130, 170) of samples onto the neural network (80) so as to obtain a preliminary intra-prediction signal (138, 172, 176); and resample (140, 180) the preliminary intra-prediction signal (138, 172, 176) so as to conform with the current block (18) so as to obtain (140) the intra-prediction signal (142, 24-1, 24-2) for the current block (18).
