1. A method comprising:
determining a value associated with a prediction of a pixel of a block of picture information, the block of picture information having a top and a left, wherein the prediction is based on an intra-prediction along a non-diagonal direction,
determining, from among a plurality of decoded pixels neighboring the block on the top and the left, at least four reference samples for the block based on the non-diagonal direction, wherein the determining of the value comprises an interpolation based on a quadratic model and the at least four reference samples, the quadratic model comprising a linear portion and a quadratic portion, and the quadratic portion being based on a piecewise linear approximation; and
decoding at least a portion of the picture information based on the value.
