Abstract

Coding mode information of a current block is propagated to neighbor blocks even when the coding mode is not selected for a current block. Such propagation may be limited, for example to one block only or to multiple generation of copies. Different propagation modes are proposed: left to right direction, top to bottom direction, bottom-right diagonal direction, first available information, or last coded information. The coding mode propagation allows to improve further predictions since a further block will benefit from the information from its neighbors.
