1. A video codec comprising a control circuit configured and arranged to calculate minimal activity direction based on texture gradient distribution, the minimal activity direction being defined by a vector (α
- (B, W), β
(B, W)) indicating minimal variation of a discrete function P(x, y) inside a spatial area of block B with weights W;
the vector (α
(B, W), β
(B, W)) being a solution of a minimization problem;

Abstract
Simplified selection of optimal intra prediction in block-based video coding based on texture gradient distribution and minimal activity direction. The minimal activity direction is defined by a vector (α(B, W), β(B, W)) indicating minimal variation of a discrete function P(x, y) inside a spatial aria of block B with weights W.
