Abstract

An image encoding/decoding method and apparatus for performing intra prediction using a plurality of reference sample lines are provided. An image decoding method may include receiving image information including intra prediction mode information, deriving an intra prediction mode of a current block based on the intra prediction mode information, and determining at least one reference sample line for intra prediction of a current block among a plurality of reference sample lines by selecting the at least one reference sample line. Based on an upper boundary of the current block corresponding to an upper boundary of a current coding tree block including the current block, a first reference sample line among the plurality of reference sample lines can be determined as the at least one reference sample line for intra prediction of the current block.
