Abstract

A method of decoding an intra prediction mode, can include reconstructing an intra prediction mode group indicator and a prediction mode index; constructing an MPM group including three intra prediction modes using present intra prediction modes of left and top blocks of the current block; determining an intra prediction mode of the MPM group corresponding to the prediction mode index as the intra prediction mode of the current block when the intra prediction mode group indicator indicates the MPM group; and determining the intra prediction mode of the current block using the prediction mode index and the three intra prediction modes of the MPM group when the intra prediction mode group indicator does not indicate the MPM group, in which a DC mode and a planar mode are two non-directional intra prediction mode, and a mode number of the planar mode is lower than mode numbers of the other intra prediction modes.

Claims (13)

1. A method of decoding an intra prediction mode, comprising:

reconstructing an intra prediction mode group indicator and a prediction mode index;

constructing an MPM group including three intra prediction modes using present intra prediction modes of left and top blocks of the current block;

determining an intra prediction mode of the MPM group corresponding to the prediction mode index as the intra prediction mode of the current block when the intra prediction mode group indicator indicates the MPM group; and

determining the intra prediction mode of the current block using the prediction mode index and the three intra prediction modes of the MPM group when the intra prediction mode group indicator does not indicate the MPM group,

wherein a DC mode and a planar mode are two non-directional intra prediction mode, and a mode number of the planar mode is lower than mode numbers of the other intra prediction modes,

wherein when the intra prediction modes of the left and top blocks are both present and not equal to each other, and when any one of the intra prediction modes of the left and top blocks is not equal to the planar mode, the MPM group includes the intra prediction modes of the left and top blocks and the planar mode, and

wherein when the intra prediction modes of the left and top blocks are both present and equal to each other, and when the intra prediction mode of the left block is one of the directional intra prediction modes, the MPM group includes the intra prediction mode of the left block and two directional intra prediction modes.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein when only one of the intra prediction modes of the left and top blocks of the current block is present, two additional intra prediction modes are included in the MPM group and the two additional intra prediction modes are determined based on the present intra prediction mode.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein mode number 0 is assigned to the planar mode.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein when the intra prediction modes of the left and top blocks of the current block are equal to each other and the intra prediction mode of the left block is the planar mode, the MPM group includes the planar mode, the DC mode and a vertical mode.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein when the intra prediction modes of the left and top blocks are not equal to each other and one of the intra prediction modes of the left and top blocks is one of two non-directional intra prediction modes and the other is one of the directional intra prediction modes, the MPM group includes the two non-directional intra prediction modes and the directional intra prediction mode.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the two directional intra prediction modes are neighboring to the intra prediction mode of the left block.
