Abstract

Embodiments of the present specification provide a method and a device for processing a video signal for intra prediction. A method for decoding a video signal according an embodiment of the present disclosure includes: obtaining intra prediction information of a current block to which the intra prediction is applied, in which the intra prediction information includes a first flag indicating a predetermined first mode; determining an intra prediction mode of the current block based on the intra prediction information, wherein when the first flag corresponds to a first value, the first mode is determined as the intra prediction mode and when the first flag corresponds to a second value, one of a plurality of candidate modes is determined as the intra prediction mode; and generating a prediction sample of the current block based on the intra prediction mode and a reference sample in a current picture. A separate flag indicating whether to use a primarily used specific mode is used to reduce a data amount for transmission of the intra prediction mode and a processing time of information of the intra prediction.

Claims (39)

1. A method for decoding a video signal for intra prediction by an apparatus, the method comprising:

obtaining reference sample line information of a current block from the video signal, wherein reference sample line information represents an index indicating reference sample line being used for the intra prediction;

obtaining an intra sub-partition(ISP) flag representing whether the current block is partitioned into sub-partitions based on the reference sample line information;

obtaining intra prediction information of the current block to which the intra prediction is applied based on the reference sample line information, wherein the intra prediction information includes a first flag representing whether an intra prediction mode is not a planar mode;

determining the intra prediction mode of the current block based on the intra prediction information, wherein based on the first flag corresponds to 0, the planar mode is determined as the intra prediction mode and based on the first flag corresponds to 1, one of a plurality of candidate modes is determined as the intra prediction mode; and

generating a prediction sample of the current block based on the intra prediction mode and a reference sample.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising

obtaining an ISP type flag representing whether an ISP type is horizontal or vertical based on the current block is partitioned into sub-partitions.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first flag is obtained based on the reference sample line information corresponds to reference samples positioned on a line adjacent to the current block.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising

determining whether to use most probable mode (MPM) candidate modes based on a MPM flag;

obtaining a MPM index if the MPM candidate modes are used; and

obtaining a remaining index if the MPM candidate modes are not used.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the MPM index or the remaining index is obtained based on reference samples positioned spaced apart from the current block by a 2-sample distance or more are used.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the determining of the intra prediction mode includes

configuring an MPM candidate list including the MPM candidate modes when the first flag corresponds to 1, and

wherein the MPM candidate list is configured based on intra prediction modes other than the planar mode among the all modes.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the obtaining of the intra prediction information includes

obtaining a reference index indicating the location of the reference sample for prediction of the current block, and

obtaining the first flag when the reference samples positioned spaced apart from the current block by a 2-sample distance or more are used, and

wherein when the first flag corresponds to 0, the intra prediction mode of the current block is determined as the DC mode.

8. A method for encoding a video signal for intra prediction by an apparatus, the method comprising:

determining reference sample line being used for the intra prediction;

generating reference sample line information of a current block, wherein reference sample line information represents an index indicating reference sample line being used for the intra prediction;

determining an intra prediction mode of the current block;

generating intra prediction information based on the intra prediction mode;

generating an intra sub-partition(ISP) flag representing whether the current block is partitioned into sub-partitions based on the reference sample line information; and

generating a prediction sample of the current block based on the intra prediction mode and a reference sample,

wherein the intra prediction information includes a first flag representing whether the intra prediction mode is not a planar mode, and

wherein the first flag is coded with 0 based on the intra prediction mode corresponds to the planar mode and coded with 1 based on the intra prediction mode corresponds to one of modes other than the planar mode.

9. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing video information generated by performing the steps of:

determining reference sample line being used for the intra prediction;

generating reference sample line information of a current block, wherein reference sample line information represents an index indicating reference sample line being used for the intra prediction;

determining an intra prediction mode of the current block;

generating intra prediction information based on the intra prediction mode;

generating an intra sub-partition(ISP) flag representing whether the current block is partitioned into sub-partitions based on the reference sample line information; and

generating a prediction sample of the current block based on the intra prediction mode and a reference sample,

wherein the intra prediction information includes a first flag representing whether the intra prediction mode is not a planar mode, and

wherein the first flag is coded with 0 based on the intra prediction mode corresponds to the planar mode and coded with 1 based on the intra prediction mode corresponds to one of modes other than the planar mode.
