Abstract

The disclosure relates to encoding and decoding image information. The encoding comprises receiving a block of pixels; determining a set of potential reference samples for the block of pixels; selecting a subset of the set of potential reference samples to be used as reference samples for the block of pixels; and using the selected reference samples to determine a DC prediction value for the block of pixels. A prediction error is determined for a pixel in the block of pixels on the basis of the DC prediction value. The decoding comprises receiving an encoded block of pixels; determining reference samples for the encoded block of pixels; and using the determined reference samples to define a DC prediction value for the block of pixels. A prediction error is received for a pixel of the encoded block of pixels. The pixel value is reconstructed on the basis of the DC prediction value.
