Abstract

A video signal processing method comprises the steps of: obtaining reference samples corresponding to a first side of a current block and reference samples corresponding to a second side of the current block, obtaining a direct current (DC) value for prediction of the current block based on a reference sample set comprising at least some of the reference samples corresponding to the first side and the reference samples corresponding to the second side, reconstructing the current block based on the DC value.
