Abstract

An image decoding method performed by a decoding apparatus according to the present invention comprises: a step of deriving an intra prediction mode for a current block; a step of deriving upper neighboring samples of a plurality of rows for the current block, and left neighboring samples of a plurality of columns; a step of deriving one row of upper reference samples on the basis of the upper neighboring samples; a step of deriving one column of left reference samples on the basis of the left neighboring samples; and a step of generating a prediction sample for the current block by using at least one of the upper reference samples and the left reference samples in accordance with the intra prediction mode.

wherein the specific upper neighboring sample is a upper neighboring sample closest to the upper neighboring samples after the 2N-th upper neighboring sample among the upper neighboring samples of the n-th row other than the upper neighboring samples after an 2N-th upper neighboring sample.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the specific upper neighboring sample is the 2N-th upper neighboring sample among the upper neighboring samples of the n-th row.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the n is more than 1,
