Abstract
Generating a compound predictor block includes generating a first predictor block and generating a second predictor block. The first predictor block includes a first pixel and the second predictor block includes a second pixel. The first and the second pixels are located at a same location within the first predictor block and the second predictor block, respectively. A first weight is determined for the first pixel based on a difference between a first value of the first pixel and a second value of the second pixel. A second weight is determined for the second pixel based on the first weight. The compound predictor block is generated by combining the first predictor block and the second predictor block. The compound predictor block includes a weighted pixel that is determined based on a weighted sum of the first pixel and the second pixel based on the first weight and the second weight.
