Abstract

Disclosed are an image coding/decoding method and an apparatus therefor. Specifically, a method for decoding an image by a decoding apparatus may include: deriving an intra prediction mode of a current block; configuring reference samples with samples neighboring to an upper end and samples neighboring to a left side of the current block; generating a prediction block of the current block by using the reference sample; and filtering a sample adjacent to a top boundary and/or a left boundary of the current block among the prediction samples, in which when the current block is a non-square block, whether to filter the sample adjacent to the top boundary of the current block may be determined by considering only a width of the current block and whether to filter the sample adjacent to the left boundary of the current block may be determined by considering only a height of the current block.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein when the intra prediction mode of the current block is a DC mode, the filtering of the prediction samples adjacent to an upper boundary of the current block is performed based on that the width of the current block is equal to or less than a predetermined size, and the filtering of the prediction samples adjacent to a left boundary of the current block is performed based on that the height of the current block is equal to or less than a predetermined size.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein when a directionality of the intra prediction mode of the current block is within a predetermined range based on a horizontal intra prediction mode, the filtering of the prediction samples adjacent to an upper boundary of the current block is performed based on that the width of the current block is equal to or less than a predetermined size.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein when a directionality of the intra prediction mode of the current block is within a predetermined range based on a vertical intra prediction mode, the filtering of the prediction samples adjacent to a left boundary of the current block is performed based on the height of the current block is equal to or less than a predetermined size.
