Abstract
An intra-prediction apparatus and method are provided for extending a set of predetermined directional intra-prediction modes of a rectangular video coding block. The intra-prediction apparatus determines an aspect ratio of the rectangular video coding block, and determines a complementary angle range based on the aspect ratio. The apparatus then selects a complementary direction within the complementary directional range, and adds an extension directional intra-prediction mode associated with the complementary direction to the set of predetermined directional intra-prediction modes. Based on the extension directional intra-prediction mode, the apparatus intra-predicts pixel values of pixels of the rectangular video coding block.
