Inventors include Chiang, Man-Shu; and Hsu, Chih-Wei.

The application for the patent was published on June 12, 2026, under issue no. 24/2026.

Abstract: A method for using combined prediction to encode or decode pixel blocks is provided. A video coder receives data to be encoded or decoded as a current block of pixels of a current picture of a video. The video coder selects a first prediction mode information (PMI) candidate from one or more PMI candidates comprising information associated with intra prediction mode or block vector. The first PMI candidate may be selected based on template costs of the one or more PMI candidates which may be in a list. The video coder generates a first predictor for the current block based on the selected first PMI candidate. The video coder generates a second predictor for the current block. The video coder generates a final predictor based on the first predictor and the second predictor. The video coder encodes or decodes the current block based on the final predictor.
