Abstract

The present invention relates to an image encoding and decoding method. An image decoding method for the same includes: determining a reference sample of a current block; performing filtering for the reference sample on the basis of a feature of an area where the reference sample is included; and performing intra-prediction by using the reference sample for which filtering is performed.

Claims (33)

1 . A method of decoding an image, the method comprising:

determining a reference sample of a current block;

performing filtering for the reference sample on the basis of a feature of an area where the reference sample is included; and

performing intra-prediction by using the reference sample for which filtering is performed.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the feature of the area where the reference sample is included is any one of a homogeneous area, an edge area, and a false edge area.

3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein in the performing of filtering for the reference sample, filtering is performed by using a smoothing filter when the feature of the area where the reference sample is included is the homogeneous area.

4 . The method of claim 2 , wherein in the performing of filtering for the reference sample, filtering is performed by using an edge-preserving filter when the feature of the area where the reference sample is included is the edge area.

5 . The method of claim 2 , wherein in the performing of filtering for the reference sample, filtering is performed by excluding a sample determined to be noise when the feature of the area where the reference sample is included is the false edge area.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the feature of the area where the reference sample is included is determined on the basis of a degree of homogeneity of the area.

7 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising: determining whether or not to perform filtering for the reference sample on the basis of at least one of a size of the current block, a form of the current block, an intra-prediction mode of the current block, a division depth of the current block, and a pixel component of the current block, wherein the performing of filtering for the reference sample is performed on the basis of the determined result.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the performing of filtering for the reference sample includes:

determining a filter length on the basis of at least one of a size of the current block, a form of the current block, an intra-prediction mode of the current block, a division depth of the current block, and a pixel component of the current block; and

performing filtering for the reference sample on the basis of the determined filter length.

9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the reference sample of the current block is at least one of at least one reconstructed sample line positioned at a left side of the current block and at least one reconstructed sample line positioned at an upper side of the current block.

10 . A method of encoding an image, the method comprising:

determining a reference sample of a current block;

performing filtering for the reference sample on the basis of a feature of an area where the reference sample is included; and

performing intra-prediction by using the reference sample for which filtering is performed.

11 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the feature of the area where the reference sample is included is any one of a homogeneous area, an edge area, and a false edge area.

12 . The method of claim 11 , wherein in the performing of filtering for the reference sample, filtering is performed by using a smoothing filter when the feature of the area where the reference sample is included is the homogeneous area.

13 . The method of claim 11 , wherein in the performing of filtering for the reference sample, filtering is performed by using an edge-preserving filter when the feature of the area where the reference sample is included is the edge area.

14 . The method of claim 11 , wherein in the performing of filtering for the reference sample, filtering is performed by excluding a pixel determined to be noise when the feature of the area where the reference sample is included is the false edge area.

15 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the feature of the area where the reference sample is included is determined on the basis of a degree of homogeneity of the area.

16 . The method of claim 10 , further comprising:

determining whether or not to perform filtering for the reference sample on the basis of at least one of a size of the current block, a form of the current block, an intra-prediction mode of the current block, a division depth of the current block, and a pixel component of the current block, wherein the filtering for the reference sample is performed on the basis of the determined result.

17 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the performing of filtering for the reference sample includes:

determining a filter length on the basis of at least one of a size of the current block, a form of the current block, an intra-prediction mode of the current block, a division depth of the current block, and a pixel component of the current block; and

performing filtering for the reference sample on the basis of the determined filter length.

18 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the reference sample of the current block is at least one of at least one reconstructed sample line positioned at a left side of the current block, and at least one reconstructed sample line positioned at an upper side of the current block.

19 . A recording medium storing a bitstream generated by an image encoding method, wherein the method includes:

determining a reference sample of a current block;

performing filtering for the reference sample on the basis of a feature of an area where the reference sample is included; and

performing intra-prediction by using the reference sample for which filtering is performed.
