Abstract

Disclosed are an image encoding/decoding method and apparatus. The method and apparatus select at least one reference pixel line from among multiple reference pixel lines and derive a predicted value of a pixel within a current block by using the value of at least one pixel within the selected reference pixel line(s). Alternatively, the method and apparatus derive an intra prediction mode of a reconstructed pixel region on the basis of a reference pixel region of at least one reconstructed pixel region, derive an intra prediction mode of a current block on the basis of the derived intra prediction mode of the reconstructed pixel region, obtain an intra prediction block of the current block by using the derived intra prediction mode, and reconstruct the current block by summing the obtained intra prediction block and a residual block of the current block.

Claims (20)

1 . A video decoding method comprising:

deriving an intra prediction mode of a current block;

generating a prediction block of the current block based on at least one reference pixel and an intra prediction mode of the current block; and

generating a reconstructed block of the current block using the prediction block,

wherein when the intra prediction mode of the current block is a predetermined intra mode, a first pixel in the prediction block is filtered based on a first reference pixel used for prediction of the first pixel and a second reference pixel included in a same reference pixel line as a reference pixel line including the first reference pixel, and

wherein the filtering is performed by applying a first weight to the first reference pixel and applying a second weight to the second reference pixel.

2 . The video decoding method of claim 1 ,

wherein the generating a prediction block is performed in units of sub-blocks within the current block.

3 . A video encoding method comprising:

deriving an intra prediction mode of a current block;

generating a prediction block of the current block based on at least one reference pixel and an intra prediction mode of the current block; and

generating a reconstructed block of the current block using the prediction block,

wherein when the intra prediction mode of the current block is a predetermined intra mode, a first pixel in the prediction block is filtered based on a first reference pixel used for prediction of the first pixel and a second reference pixel included in a same reference pixel line as a reference pixel line including the first reference pixel, and

wherein the filtering is performed by applying a first weight to the first reference pixel and applying a second weight to the second reference pixel.

4 . A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a bitstream generated by a video encoding method with a video encoding apparatus, the video encoding method comprises:

deriving an intra prediction mode of a current block;

generating a prediction block of the current block based on at least one reference pixel and an intra prediction mode of the current block; and

generating a reconstructed block of the current block using the prediction block,

wherein when the intra prediction mode of the current block is a predetermined intra mode, a first pixel in the prediction block is filtered based on a first reference pixel used for prediction of the first pixel and a second reference pixel included in a same reference pixel line as a reference pixel line including the first reference pixel, and

wherein the filtering is performed by applying a first weight to the first reference pixel and applying a second weight to the second reference pixel.
