Abstract

Disclosed herein are methods and apparatuses for selective prediction signal filtering. One aspect of the disclosed implementations is a method for encoding a frame of a video stream including determining a first performance measurement for a first set of prediction samples identified for a group of pixels using a first prediction mode, generating a filtered set of prediction samples by applying a filter to a second set of prediction samples, wherein at least one of the filtered set of prediction samples or the second set of prediction samples are identified using a second prediction mode, determining a second performance measurement for the filtered set of prediction samples, generating, using a processor, a residual based on the filtered set of prediction samples and the group of pixels if the second performance measurement exceeds the first performance measurement, and encoding the frame using the residual.
