Abstract

An image encoding/decoding method is disclosed. An image decoding method of the present invention may comprise deriving an intra-prediction mode of a current block by using an intra-prediction mode of a neighbor block adjacent to the current block, configuring a reference sample of the current block, and performing intra-prediction on the current block by using the intra-prediction mode and the reference sample, wherein when the intra-prediction mode of the neighbor block is unavailable, the intra-prediction mode of the neighbor block may be replaced with a planar mode.

5. The image decoding method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining whether to perform a secondary filtering for the prediction block of the current block based on at least one among the intra prediction mode of the current block, a size of the current block or the selected one reference sample line;

deriving a scaling value based on the size of the current block in case the secondary filtering is performed;

deriving a filter coefficient of the secondary filtering based on the scaling value; and

generating a filtered prediction block of the current block by performing the secondary filtering for the prediction block based on the derived filter coefficient.
