Abstract
An encoder includes circuitry and memory. The circuitry, using the memory: derives a one-dimensional array of a plurality of reference samples for intra prediction; performs smoothing on the one-dimensional array of the plurality of reference samples which has been derived; and generates a prediction image using the plurality of reference samples. In deriving the one-dimensional array, the circuitry projects a value of at least one decoded pixel located on a first line onto a second line perpendicular to the first line, to derive at least one of the plurality of reference samples, and the smoothing is performed on the at least one decoded pixel projected onto the second line.
