Abstract

An image encoding/decoding method and apparatus are provided. An image decoding method performed by an image decoding apparatus may include determining whether to parse first information specifying whether a skip mode applies to a current block, determining whether to parse second information specifying whether an IBC (Intra Block Copy) mode applies to the current block, determining whether the IBC mode applies to the current block based on the first information and the second information, and deriving a prediction block of the current block based on whether to apply the IBC mode. Whether to parse the first information may be determined based on at least one of a width or height of the current block.

Claims (23)

1. An image decoding method performed by an image decoding apparatus, the image decoding method comprising:

determining whether to parse first information specifying whether a skip mode applies to a current block;

determining whether to parse second information specifying whether an IBC (Intra Block Copy) mode applies to the current block;

determining whether the IBC mode applies to the current block based on the first information and the second information; and

deriving a prediction block of the current block based on whether to apply the IBC mode,

wherein based on a width and a height of the current block being equal to or less than 64, it is determined that the first information is parsed.

2. The image decoding method of claim 1 , wherein whether to parse the first information is determined further based on third information specifying whether the IBC mode is applicable to the current block.

3. The image decoding method of claim 2 , wherein, based on the third information specifying that the IBC mode is applicable to the current block, it is determined that the first information is parsed.

4. The image decoding method of claim 2 , wherein the third information is signaled at a higher level of the current block.

5. The image decoding method of claim 2 , wherein whether to parse the first information is determined further based on a type of a slice in which the current block is included.

6. The image decoding method of claim 5 , wherein, based on the slice in which the current block is included is an I slice, it is determined that the first information is parsed.

7. The image decoding method of claim 1 , wherein whether to parse the second information is determined based on at least one of the first information or the width or the height of the current block.

8. An image encoding method performed by an image encoding apparatus, the image encoding method comprising:

determining whether to encode first information specifying whether a skip mode applies to a current block;

determining whether to encode second information specifying whether an IBC (Intra Block Copy) mode applies to the current block; and

generating a bitstream for the current block based on whether to encode the first information and the second information,

wherein based on a width and a height of the current block being equal to or less than 64, it is determined that the first information is parsed.

9. The image encoding method of claim 8 , wherein whether to encode the first information is determined further based on whether the IBC mode is applicable to the current block.

10. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a bitstream generated by an image encoding method, the image encoding method comprising:

determining whether to encode first information specifying whether a skip mode applies to a current block;

determining whether to encode second information specifying whether an IBC (Intra Block Copy) mode applies to the current block; and

generating a bitstream for the current block based on whether to encode the first information and the second information,

wherein based on a width and a height of the current block being equal to or less than 64, it is determined that the first information is parsed.
