Abstract

Disclosed are an intra prediction method of a chrominance block using a luminance sample and an apparatus using the same. An image decoding method comprises the steps of: calculating an intra prediction mode of a chrominance block on the basis of an LM mapping table when the chrominance block uses an LM; and generating a prediction block for the chrominance block on the basis of the calculated intra prediction mode of the chrominance block. When intra prediction mode information of chrominance blocks are decoded, mutually different tables are used depending on whether or not an LM is used, so that encoding and decoding can be performed without an unnecessary waste of bits.

1. A video decoding method comprising

receiving a;

bitstream including prediction type information, the prediction type information indicating a current block is coded in an intra mode;

obtaining information on a luma intra prediction mode of the current block;

4. The video decoding method according to claim 3 , wherein when the index information indicates a fourth value among the five values, the chroma intra prediction mode is derived as a DC mode if the luma intra prediction mode is not the DC mode and the chroma intra prediction mode is derived as the upper right direction diagonal mode representing a diagonal direction to a top right side of the current block when if the luma intra prediction mode is the DC mode.

5. The video decoding method according to claim 1 , wherein the index information is obtained based on a bin string obtained from the bitstream, and
