Abstract

Disclosed herein is a method of decoding an image including deriving intra prediction mode of a current block using an intra prediction mode of a neighbor block adjacent to the current block, constructing a reference sample of the current block, and performing intra prediction with respect to the current block using the intra prediction mode and the reference sample. The deriving of the intra prediction mode of the current block includes constructing a most probable mode (MPM) list based on whether the intra prediction mode of the current block is a Planar mode.

determining whether to perform intra-inter combination prediction for a current block based on a flag signaled from a bitstream; and

obtaining, in response to determining to perform the intra-inter combination prediction, a prediction block of the current block by performing the intra-inter combination prediction,

3 . The method of claim 1 ,

wherein a type of the prediction sample filtering is determined based on the intra prediction mode among a plurality of filters.

4 . The method of claim 3 ,

wherein the plurality of filters includes a 2-tap filter and a 3-tap filter.

5 . The method of claim 4 ,
