IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND METHOD Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC H04N19/593 

FIELD: calculating; counting.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the computer equipment. Image processing apparatus includes a phase shifting means configured to determine whether to shift a phase of a neighbouring pixel adjacent to the intra-frame prediction block to be processed for intra-frame prediction in accordance with the direction of the intra-frame prediction mode; predictive image generating means configured to generate a predicted image for said intra-frame prediction block using said neighbouring pixel; and an encoding means configured to encode said intra-frame prediction block using the predicted image.

EFFECT: technical result is higher encoding efficiency with intra-frame prediction without increasing the number of memory accesses and amount of data to be processed.
