1. A hybrid prediction apparatus for entropy encoding, the apparatus comprising: at least two predictors, each configured to output a plurality of prediction patterns with respect to an input image frame using correlations between pixels of the image frame; a selection processor to acquire per-pixel errors of all pixels of the image frame for each of the predictors with respect to all prediction pattern combinations, each prediction pattern combination including one of the plurality of prediction patterns output by each of the predictors, and to thereby select, from among all of the prediction pattern combinations for all of the predictors, one prediction pattern combination and one predictor that have a relatively small amount of per-pixel errors; and an entropy coder to perform entropy encoding of the selected prediction pattern combination.
