Abstract

The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for encoding and decoding an image by skip encoding. The image-encoding method by skip encoding, which performs intra-prediction, comprises: performing a filtering operation on the signal which is reconstructed prior to an encoding object signal in an encoding object image; using the filtered reconstructed signal to generate a prediction signal for the encoding object signal; setting the generated prediction signal as a reconstruction signal for the encoding object signal; and not encoding the residual signal which can be generated on the basis of the difference between the encoding object signal and the prediction signal, thereby performing skip encoding on the encoding object signal.

Claims (8)

1. An image decoding method performed by a decoding apparatus, comprising:

determining whether to perform filtering on signals to be used in generating intra prediction signals of decoding object signals, the signals being reconstructed earlier than the decoding object signals, the signals being adjacent to the decoding object signals;

performing the filtering on the signals in response to the determination that the filtering is performed; and

generating the intra prediction signals of the decoding object signals using the filtered signals;

wherein the determination of whether to perform the filtering is based on a block size of the decoding object signals and an intra prediction mode of the decoding object signals, and

wherein a tap size of a filter used in the filtering is variable.

2. The image decoding method of claim 1 , wherein a strength of the filter used in the filtering is variable.

3. The image decoding method of claim 2 , wherein the strength of the filter is determined based on a flag transmitted from an encoding apparatus, the flag indicating the strength of the filter.
