Encoding/decoding method and apparatus for coding unit partitioning
Disclosed is an image decoding method using the correlation between color components to perform into prediction of chrominance components. Here, the image decoding method using the correlation between color components to perform intra prediction of chrominance components comprises the steps of: checking image data and a prediction mode in a bitstream; generating a prediction block according to a reconstructed prediction mode; determining compensation settings according to the size of a current block and the reconstructed prediction mode; compensating the prediction block according to the determined compensation settings; and reconstructing the current block by adding reconstructed image data to the prediction block.
