Abstract

Provided is a method and apparatus for performing intra-prediction using an adaptive filter. The method for performing intra-prediction includes the steps of: determining whether or not to apply a first filter for a reference pixel value on the basis of information of a neighboring block of a current block; applying the first filter for the reference pixel value when it is determined to apply the first filter; performing intra-prediction on the current block on the basis of the reference pixel value; determining whether or not to apply a second filter for a prediction value according to each prediction mode of the current block, which is predicted by the intra-prediction performance on the basis of the information of the neighboring block; and applying the second filter for the prediction value according to each prediction mode of the current block when it is determined to apply the second filter.

Claims (19)

1. A video decoding method, comprising:

determining whether to apply a first filter to a reference pixel value of a current block based on at least one of an intra prediction mode of the current block and a size of the current block;

deriving a prediction value of the current block using the reference pixel value; and

determining whether to apply a second filter for the prediction value of the current block based on at least one of an intra prediction mode of the current block and a size of the current block, for thereby producing a filtered prediction value,

wherein the intra prediction mode of the current block is determined based on a Most Probable Mode (MPM), and

wherein when the intra prediction mode of the current block is a DC mode, the filtered prediction value is generated by applying a 3-tap filter for an upper-leftmost pixel of the current block among prediction pixels of the current block and applying a 2-tap filter for remaining uppermost pixels and leftmost pixels except the upper-leftmost pixel among prediction pixels of the current block.

2. The video decoding method of claim 1 , wherein the upper-leftmost pixel corresponds to a first filter coefficient and the remaining uppermost pixels and leftmost pixels except for the upper-leftmost pixel correspond to a second filter coefficient, wherein the second filter coefficient is 1.5 times larger than the first filter coefficient.

3. A video encoding method comprising:

encoding information related to whether to apply a first filter to a reference pixel value of a current block and whether to apply a second filter for a prediction value of the current block,

wherein the information is related to at least one of an intra prediction mode of the current block and a size of the current block,

wherein the intra prediction mode of the current block is encoded based on a Most Probable Mode (MPM), and

wherein when the intra prediction mode of the current block is a DC mode, the filtered prediction value is generated by applying a 3-tap filter for an upper-leftmost pixel of the current block among prediction pixels of the current block and applying a 2-tap filter for remaining uppermost pixels and leftmost pixels except the upper-leftmost pixel among prediction pixels of the current block.

4. The video encoding method of claim 3 ,

wherein the upper-leftmost pixel corresponds to a first filter coefficient and the remaining uppermost and leftmost pixels except the upper-leftmost pixel correspond to a second filter coefficient, wherein the second filter coefficient is 1.5 times larger than the first filter coefficient.

5. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a bitstream, the bitstream comprising:

information related to whether to apply a first filter for a reference pixel value of a current block and whether to apply a second filter to a prediction value of the current block,

wherein the information is related to at least one of an intra prediction mode of the current block and a size of the current block,

wherein the intra prediction mode of the current block is encoded based on a Most Probable Mode (MPM), and

wherein when the intra prediction mode of the current block is a DC mode, the filtered prediction value is generated by applying a 3-tap filter for an upper-leftmost pixel of the current block among prediction pixels of the current block and applying a 2-tap filter for remaining uppermost pixels and leftmost pixels except the upper-leftmost pixel among prediction pixels of the current block.
