Abstract

According to the present invention, an image encoding/decoding method comprises the steps of: performing an intra prediction on a current block so as to generate a prediction block; performing filtering on a filtering target pixel in the prediction block on the basis of the intra prediction mode of the current block so as to generate a final prediction block; and generating a reconstructed block on the basis of a reconstructed differential block corresponding to the current block and on the final prediction block. According to the present invention, image encoding/decoding efficiency can be improved.

Claims (31)

1. A video decoding apparatus comprising:

a prediction block generating unit to generate a prediction block by performing prediction on a current block based on an intra prediction mode of the current block; and

a reconstructed block generating unit to generate a reconstructed block based on the prediction block and a reconstructed residual block corresponding to the current block,
