Block-Based Predictive Coding and Decoding of a Picture
First Claim
1. An apparatus for block-based predictive decoding of a picture, comprising:
- a prediction provider configured to predict a predetermined block of the picture to acquire a first version of a predicted filling of the predetermined block;
a spectral decomposer configured to spectrally decompose a region composed of the first version of the predicted filling of the predetermined block and a reconstructed version of a neighborhood of the predetermined block so as to acquire a first spectrum of the region;
a noise reducer configured to perform noise reduction on the first spectrum to acquire a second spectrum;
a spectral composer configured to subject the second spectrum to spectral composition so as to acquire a modified version of the region including a second version of the predicted filling of the predetermined block;
a reconstructor configured to decode a reconstructed version of the predetermined block from a data stream on the basis of the second version of the predicted filling.

Abstract
A previously encoded or reconstructed version of a neighborhood of a predetermined block to be predicted is exploited so as to result into a more efficient predictive coding of the prediction block. In particular, a spectral decomposition of a region composed of this neighborhood and a first version of a predicted filling of the predetermined block results into a first spectrum which is subject to noise reduction and the thus resulting second spectrum may be subject to a specral composition, thereby resulting in a modified version of this region including a second version of the predicted filling of the predetermined block. Owing to the exploitation of the already processed, i.e. encoded/reconstructed, neighborhood of the predetermined block, the second version of the predicted filling of the predetermined block tends to improve the coding efficiency.
