LUMA-BASED CHROMA INTRA-PREDICTION FOR VIDEO CODING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18512471 titled 'LUMA-BASED CHROMA INTRA-PREDICTION FOR VIDEO CODING
Simplified Explanation
The method described in the abstract involves predicting chroma samples based on a linear model using reconstructed luma samples and neighboring chroma samples.
- Down sample a reconstructed luma block of a largest coding unit (LCU).

Original Abstract Submitted
A method for luma-based chroma intra-prediction in a video encoder or a video decoder is provided that includes down sampling a first reconstructed luma block of a largest coding unit (LCU), computing parameters α and β of a linear model using immediate top neighboring reconstructed luma samples and left neighboring reconstructed luma samples of the first reconstructed luma block and reconstructed neighboring chroma samples of a chroma block corresponding to the first reconstructed luma block, wherein the linear model is Pred[x,y]=α·Rec′[x,y]+β, wherein x and y are sample coordinates, Predis predicted chroma samples, and Rec′ is samples of the down sampled first reconstructed luma block, and wherein the immediate top neighboring reconstructed luma samples are the only top neighboring reconstructed luma samples used, and computing samples of a first predicted chroma block from corresponding samples of the down sampled first reconstructed luma block using the linear model and the parameters.
