Abstract

The method for decoding an intra-picture prediction mode includes the steps of: determining whether the intra-picture prediction mode of a current prediction unit is identical to a first intra-picture prediction mode candidate or a second intra-picture prediction mode candidate based on bit information; and when the intra-picture prediction mode of the current prediction unit is identical to the first intra-picture prediction mode candidate and/or to the second intra-picture prediction mode candidate, determining whether the first intra-picture prediction mode candidate or the second intra-picture prediction mode candidate is identical to the intra-picture prediction mode of the current prediction unit on the basis of additional bit information, and decoding the intra-picture prediction mode of the current prediction unit.
