Abstract

The present invention provides an image processing method on the basis of an intra prediction mode and an apparatus therefor. Specifically, a method for processing an image on the basis of an intra prediction mode may comprise the steps of: inducing a prediction mode applied to an intra prediction of a current block; determining whether a bi-directional intra prediction using reference samples located at both boundaries of the current block with respect to a prediction direction of the prediction mode is applied to the current block; and generating a prediction sample by using a reference sample neighboring the current block on the basis of the prediction mode, wherein when the bi-directional intra prediction is applied, boundary filtering for the current block is skipped.

Claims (25)

1. A method for processing an image based on an intra-prediction mode by an apparatus, comprising:

deriving the intra prediction mode applied to an intra prediction of a current block;

determining whether unequal weighted prediction generating a prediction sample by applying different weights to a plurality of reference samples based on the intra-prediction mode is applied to the current block; and

generating a prediction sample by weighting two or more reference samples of reference samples neighboring the current block based on the intra-prediction mode,

wherein the step of determining checks whether a prediction direction of the intra-prediction mode applied to the current block corresponds to one of predetermined angles at which the unequal weighted prediction is applied, and

wherein whether to apply filtering on the prediction sample of the current block is determined based on whether to apply the unequal weighted prediction to the current block such that the filtering is applied when the unequal weighted prediction is not applied and the filtering is not applied when the unequal weighted prediction is applied.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of generating includes:

deriving a first reference sample and a second reference sample used for the unequal weighted prediction based on the prediction direction of the intra-prediction mode when the unequal weighted prediction is applied; and

generating the prediction sample by weighting-sum the first reference sample and the second reference sample.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein a weight applied to the first reference sample and the second reference sample, respectively, is determined in proportion to a distance from a current pixel.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein when the unequal weighted prediction is not applied, uni-directional intra prediction using one reference sample is applied to the current block.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

performing boundary filtering on the current block by using at least one horizontal or vertical pixel line in the current block determined according to the prediction direction of the intra-prediction mode when the unequal weighted prediction is not applied.

6. An apparatus for processing an image based on an intra-prediction mode, comprising:

a prediction mode deriving unit configured to derive the intra-prediction mode applied to an intra prediction of a current block;

a bi-directional intra-prediction determination unit configured to determine whether unequal weighted prediction representing a mode of generating a prediction sample by applying different weights to a plurality of reference samples based on the intra-prediction mode is applied to the current block; and

a prediction sample generation unit configured to generate a prediction sample by weighting two or more reference samples of using a reference samples neighboring the current block based on the intra-prediction mode,

wherein the bi-directional intra-prediction determination unit is configured to check whether a prediction direction of the intra-prediction mode applied to the current block corresponds to one of predetermined angles at which the unequal weighted prediction is applied, and

wherein whether to apply filtering on the prediction sample of the current block is determined based on whether to apply the unequal weighted prediction to the current block such that the filtering is applied when the unequal weighted prediction is not applied and the filtering is not applied when the unequal weighted prediction is applied.

7. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the prediction sample generation unit induces a first reference sample and a second reference sample used for the unequal weighted prediction based on the prediction direction of the intra-prediction mode when the unequal weighted prediction is applied, and

generates the prediction sample by weighting-sum the first reference sample and the second reference sample.

8. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein a weight applied to the first reference sample and the second reference sample, respectively, is determined in proportion to a distance from a current pixel.

9. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein when the unequal weighted prediction is not applied, uni-directional intra prediction using one reference sample is applied to the current block.

10. The apparatus of claim 6 , further comprising:

a boundary filtering unit configured to perform boundary filtering on the current block by using at least one horizontal or vertical pixel line in the current block determined according to the prediction direction of the intra-prediction mode when the unequal weighted prediction is not applied.
