Abstract

Provided are an image encoding method and device. When carrying out image encoding for a block within a slice, at least one block in a restored block of the slice is set as a reference block. When this is done, the encoding parameters of the reference block are distinguished, and the block to be encoded is encoded adaptively based on the encoding parameters.

Claims (19)

1. An image decoding method, the method comprising:

receiving a bit stream including information related with first intra prediction mode information indicating a first intra prediction mode of a first reference block in a current picture and second intra prediction mode information indicating a second intra prediction mode of a second reference block in the current picture; and

performing an adaptive decoding for a target block based on the bit stream received,

wherein the adaptive decoding determines an intra prediction mode of the target block based on both of the first intra prediction mode of the first reference block and the second intra prediction mode of the second reference block, and performs the decoding for the target block based on the determined intra prediction mode of the target block,

wherein the first reference block is a block adjacent to the left of the target block and the second reference block is a block adjacent to the above of the target block, and

wherein a respective intra prediction mode of a respective reference block is not used for determining the intra prediction mode of the target block if the respective reference block is located outside a boundary of a slice to which the target block belongs.

2. An image encoding method, the method comprising:

performing an adaptive encoding on a target block, and

generating a bit stream based on the encoded target block,

wherein the adaptive encoding determines an intra prediction mode of the target block based on both of a first intra prediction mode of a first reference block and a second intra prediction mode of a second reference block and performs encoding on the target block based on the determined intra prediction mode of the target block,

wherein the bit stream includes information related with first intra prediction mode information indicating the first intra prediction mode of the first reference block in a current picture and second intra prediction mode information indicating the second intra prediction mode of the second reference block in the current picture,

wherein the first reference block is a block adjacent to the left of the target block and the second reference block is a block adjacent to the above of the target block, and

wherein a respective intra prediction mode of a respective reference block is not used for determining the intra prediction mode of the target block if the respective reference block is located outside a boundary of a slice to which the target block belong.

3. A computer readable recording medium storing a bitstream for decoding an image, the bitstream comprising:

encoded information of a target block including information related with first intra prediction mode information indicating a first intra prediction mode of a first reference block in a current picture and second intra prediction mode information indicating a second intra prediction mode of a second reference block in the current picture,

wherein the encoded information of the target block is used for performing an adaptive decoding,

wherein the adaptive decoding determines an intra prediction mode of the target block based on both of the first intra prediction mode of the first reference block and the second intra prediction mode of the second reference block and performs decoding the target block based on the determined intra prediction mode,

wherein the first reference block is a block adjacent to the left of the target block and the second reference block is a block adjacent to the above of the target block, and

wherein a respective intra prediction mode of a respective reference block is not used for determining the intra prediction mode of the target block if the respective reference block is located outside a boundary of a slice to which the target block belong.
