US Patent 11503280 Methods for encoding and decoding pictures and associated apparatus

A method for decoding a picture, a method for encoding a picture, an encoder, and a decoder are provided. The method for encoding a picture includes (i) determining a width and a height of a coding block in the picture; (ii) if the width and the height are equal to N, where N is a positive integer power of 2, determining a matrix-based intra prediction (MIP) size identifier indicating that an MIP prediction size equal to N; (iii) deriving a group of reference samples of the coding block; and (iv) deriving an MIP prediction of the coding block based on the group of reference samples and an MIP matrix corresponding to the MIP size identifier.
