Method and device for selective multi-sample intra-prediction
The multi sample prediction method of the present invention comprises the steps of: determining a sample group consisting of a plurality of samples inside a decoding target block; determining a representative position corresponding to the sample group, inside the decoding target block; determining a representative prediction value for the sample group, on the basis of the determined representative position; and determining the determined representative prediction value as the final prediction value for each of the plurality of samples making up the sample group. The present invention enhances efficiency in encoding/decoding and reduces complexity thereof.
1. An image decoding method performed by an image decoding apparatus, comprising:
determining whether to apply multi-sample prediction to a current block based on an intra prediction mode and a size of the current block, the current block being a prediction unit to which the intra prediction mode is applied;
determining, in case the multi-sample prediction is applied, a representative prediction value for a sample group, the sample group being a region inside the current block, being smaller than the current block, and being predicted as the same representative prediction value; and
predicting a plurality of samples included in the sample group using the determined representative prediction value,
wherein the representative prediction value is determined as an average value of a plurality of reference samples, and
wherein other samples inside the current block which are not included in the sample group are predicted differently from the plurality of samples included in the sample group.
