US Patent 10542264 Memory reduction implementation for weighted angular prediction

A method and apparatus for decoding JVET video, including receiving a bitstream and generating predictor pixels for angular prediction using pixels at projected positions along both a top reference row (main reference line) and a left reference column (side reference line). By combining projected pixel values on the main reference line with projected pixel values on the side reference, a predictor pixel at coordinate (x,y) can be determined. Further weighting the values according to a distance between predictor pixels and projected pixel positions on the main and side references may be included in the combination of pixel values. The weight parameter may be determined from a weighting table. Further, the weights for horizontal and vertical predictors may be computed based on that of a horizontal and vertical predictor, whichever is more accurate.
