    摘要: An adaptive filter is applied (160) to samples in an initial pattern of samples. The samples in the initial pattern correspond to a subset of the image pixels which are to be predicted using the samples. A level value of each sample in the pattern is varied (165). The level value corresponds to the intensity/signal value of the sample, and may have a strong effect on the prediction power of the samples. A first prediction pattern (i.e., the prediction signal corresponding to the sampling pattern) is generated from the samples. A sample movement process is performed (170) on a current sample in the first prediction pattern to change a current position of the current sample in the first prediction pattern. A local prediction of pixels influenced by the sample is updated if the sample's position is changed. A sample removal process is performed (175) on the current sample to remove the sample from the first pattern if a criteria is satisfied. A local prediction of pixels is updated if the current sample is removed. A second prediction pattern (i.e., the prediction signal corresponding to the new/second sampling pattern) is generated from the samples remaining in the first pattern. The second pattern is output.
