The application for the patent was published on June 19, 2026, under issue no. 25/2026.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for blended IBC mode. According to the method, a first predictor or a first hypothesis is derived by using a first prediction mode comprising IBC (Intra Block Copy) prediction mode or IntraTMP (Intra Template Matching Prediction) mode. A second predictor is derived. A blended predictor is derived by blending the first predictor or the first hypothesis with the second predictor. The current block is encoded or decoded by using a predictor candidate set comprising the blended predictor. According to another method, for IBC-CIIP (Combined Intra Block Copy and Intra Prediction), the behavior is aligned among the inter prediction mode, the IBC AMVP mode and the IBC merge mode.
