Abstract

The present invention relates to an image encoding/decoding method and apparatus. The image decoding method according to the present invention may comprise constructing N MPM lists for a current block, wherein N is equal to or greater than 1, deriving an intra prediction mode of the current block based on the N MPM lists, and performing intra prediction for the current block based on the intra prediction mode.

Claims (44)

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

deciding whether an intra prediction mode of a current block is identical to an intra prediction mode included in a first MPM (Most Probable Mode) list;

determining the intra prediction mode of the current block using the intra prediction mode included in the first MPM list in case the intra prediction mode of the current block is determined to be identical to the intra prediction mode included in the first MPM list at the deciding step;

determining the intra prediction mode of the current block using an intra prediction mode included in a second MPM list in case the intra prediction mode of the current block is determined to be not identical to the intra prediction mode included in the first MPM list at the deciding step; and

performing intra prediction for the current block based on the determined intra prediction mode of the current block,

wherein the second MPM list is configured based on an intra prediction mode of a left block adjacent to the current block and an intra prediction mode of an upper block adjacent to the current block,

wherein the second MPM list comprises the intra prediction mode of the left block and the intra prediction mode of the upper block and two or more additional MPM candidates, and

wherein the two or more additional MPM candidates are derived based on a minimum value and a maximum value of a mode value of the intra prediction mode of the left block and a mode value of the intra prediction mode of the upper block in response to that the intra prediction mode of the left block is different from the intra prediction mode of the upper block.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first MPM list and the second MPM list comprise at least one intra prediction mode, respectively.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the intra prediction mode included in the first MPM list is not duplicated with the intra prediction mode included in the second MPM list.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the deciding step is performed based on flag information signaled for the current block.

5. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein a reference sample used in the intra prediction is configured using a sample included in a reconstructed sample line selected from a plurality of reconstructed sample lines neighboring the current block, and

in case an upper boundary of the current block is a CTB (coding tree block) boundary of a current CTB comprising the current block, a first reconstructed sample line adjacent to the current block is selected for configuring the reference sample used for the intra prediction.

6. The method of claim 5 ,

wherein in case the reference sample used for the intra prediction is included in the first reconstructed sample line adjacent to the current block among the plurality of reconstructed sample lines neighboring the current block, a filtering for the reference sample is performed, and

in case the reference sample used for the intra prediction is included in a reconstructed sample line other than the first reconstructed sample line adjacent to the current block among the plurality of reconstructed sample lines neighboring the current block, a filtering for the reference sample is not performed.

7. An image encoding method performed by an image encoding apparatus, the method comprising:

determining an intra prediction mode of a current block;

performing intra prediction for the current block based on the determined intra prediction mode of the current block;

deciding whether the intra prediction mode of the current block is identical to an intra prediction mode included in a first MPM list;

encoding information representing that the intra prediction mode of the current block is identical to the intra prediction mode included in the first MPM list in case the intra prediction mode of the current block is determined to be identical to the intra prediction mode included in the first MPM list at the deciding step; and

encoding the intra prediction mode of the current block using an intra prediction mode included in a second MPM list in case the intra prediction mode of the current block is determined to be not identical to the intra prediction mode included in the first MPM list at the deciding step,

wherein the second MPM list is configured based on an intra prediction mode of a left block adjacent to the current block and an intra prediction mode of an upper block adjacent to the current block,

wherein the second MPM list comprises the intra prediction mode of the left block and the intra prediction mode of the upper block and two or more additional MPM candidates, and

wherein the two or more additional MPM candidates are derived based on a minimum value and a maximum value of a mode value of the intra prediction mode of the left block and a mode value of the intra prediction mode of the upper block in response to that the intra prediction mode of the left block is different from the intra prediction mode of the upper block.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the first MPM list and the second MPM list comprise at least one intra prediction mode, respectively.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the intra prediction mode included in the first MPM list is not duplicated with the intra prediction mode included in the second MPM list.

10. The method of claim 7 , wherein the information representing that the intra prediction mode of the current block is identical to the intra prediction mode included in the first MPM list is flag information encoded for the current block.

11. The method of claim 7 ,

wherein a reference sample used in the intra prediction is configured using a sample included in a reconstructed sample line selected from a plurality of reconstructed sample lines neighboring the current block, and

in case an upper boundary of the current block is a CTB (coding tree block) boundary of a current CTB comprising the current block, a first reconstructed sample line adjacent to the current block is selected for configuring the reference sample used for the intra prediction.

12. The method of claim 11 ,

13. A non-transitory computer readable recording medium storing a bitstream that is generated by an image encoding method, the method comprising:

determining an intra prediction mode of a current block;

performing intra prediction for the current block based on the determined intra prediction mode of the current block;

deciding whether the intra prediction mode of the current block is identical to an intra prediction mode included in a first MPM list;
