Predictor blending for real-time lossless coding system

In the paper modeling stage of a simple and efficient lossless image coding technique intended for use in real-time hardware coding system is described. The method is based on predictors blending approach, which is the kernel of some the best current lossless coding methods. Additionally, prediction blending is well suited for parallel implementations. The predictor blending is combined with context coding, and bias removal algorithm, the latter one implements both CALIC, and LOCO-I approaches. Experiments show that indeed, the new technique has better performance than the widely known older methods.
