Abstract

The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for encoding and decoding an image by skip encoding. The image-encoding method by skip encoding, which performs intra-prediction, comprises: performing a filtering operation on the signal which is reconstructed prior to an encoding object signal in an encoding object image; using the filtered reconstructed signal to generate a prediction signal for the encoding object signal; setting the generated prediction signal as a reconstruction signal for the encoding object signal; and not encoding the residual signal which can be generated on the basis of the difference between the encoding object signal and the prediction signal, thereby performing skip encoding on the encoding object signal.

Claims (27)

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

entropy-decoding an indicator indicating whether skip coding is performed on decoding target signals;

determining whether to perform filtering on signals to be used for generating intra prediction signals of decoding target signals when intra prediction is performed on the decoding target signals based on the indicator, the signals being reconstructed earlier than the decoding target signals, the signals being adjacent to the decoding target signals;

performing the filtering on the signals when the filtering is determined to be performed;

generating the intra prediction signals of the decoding target signals using the filtered signals; and

generating reconstructed signals of the decoding target signals based on the intra prediction signals,

wherein whether to perform the filtering is determined based on a block size and an intra prediction mode of the decoding target signals,

wherein a strength of a filter used for the filtering is determined based on a flag transmitted from an encoding apparatus, and

wherein a tap size of the filter or a coefficient of the filter is variably determined based on the strength of the filter.

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

determining whether to perform skip coding on encoding target signals and encoding the determined result using an indicator;

determining whether to perform filtering on signals to be used for generating intra prediction signals of the encoding target signals when intra prediction is performed on the encoding target signals, the signals being reconstructed earlier than the encoding target signals, the signals being adjacent to the encoding target signals;

performing the filtering on the signals when the filtering is determined to be performed;

generating the intra prediction signals of the encoding target signals using the filtered signals; and

generating residual signals of the encoding target signals based on the intra prediction signals,

wherein whether to perform the filtering is determined based on a block size and an intra prediction mode of the encoding target signals,

wherein a strength of a filter used for the filtering is variably determined and encoded using a flag, and

wherein a tap size of the filter or a coefficient of the filter is variably determined based on the strength of the filter.

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

determining whether to perform skip coding on encoding target signals and encoding the determined result using an indicator;

determining whether to perform filtering on signals to be used for generating intra prediction signals of the encoding target signals when intra prediction is performed on the encoding target signals, the signals being reconstructed earlier than the encoding target signals, the signals being adjacent to the encoding target signals;

performing the filtering on the signals when the filtering is determined to be performed;

generating the intra prediction signals of the encoding target signals using the filtered signals; and

generating residual signals of the encoding target signals based on the intra prediction signals,

wherein whether to perform the filtering is determined based on a block size and an intra prediction mode of the encoding target signals,

wherein a strength of a filter used for the filtering is variably determined and encoded using a flag, and

wherein a tap size of the filter or a coefficient of the filter is variably determined based on the strength of the filter.
