US Patent 10277895 Adaptive unequal weight planar prediction

A method of decoding JVET video includes receiving a bitstream that includes encoded video data that includes encoded video data. From the encoded data, a horizontal predictor and a vertical predictor for a pixel in the current coding block may be interpolated. A coding block size may be identified to determine whether to use equal weight or unequal weights to apply to each of the horizontal and vertical predictors for calculating a final planar prediction value P(x,y) by comparing the coding block size to a coding block size threshold.
