Video Coding Prediction Fusion Using Intra TMP Candidates

The patent merges intra template matching prediction with other coding tools (intra prediction, inter prediction, IBC) to create a unified prediction framework. This combination allows the system to leverage the strengths of multiple prediction methods simultaneously, improving coding efficiency by selecting the most appropriate prediction mode for each video block while maintaining high coding performance through the complementary nature of the combined tools

The patent makes the intra TMP tool universal by enabling it to work in conjunction with multiple prediction modes (intra prediction, inter prediction, IBC). The system can adaptively switch between different prediction approaches and combine them, allowing intra TMP to serve multiple functions depending on the video content characteristics, thereby optimizing both coding efficiency and performance across diverse video scenarios
