Abstract

A picture decoding method which is performed by a decoding apparatus according to an example of the present disclosure includes constructing a Most Probable Modes (MPM) list including intra prediction mode candidates for a current block based on neighboring blocks of the current block, decoding remaining mode information indicating one of remaining intra prediction modes other than the intra prediction mode candidates included in the MPM list from a bitstream, determining an intra prediction mode of the current block based on the decoded remaining mode information, generating prediction samples for the current block based on the determined intra prediction mode, and generating reconstructed samples for the current block based on the prediction samples for the current block, wherein the remaining mode information is decoded based on a truncated binary code.
