Claims (33)

1. An intra prediction method for video decoding, comprising:

determining an intra prediction mode belonging to an initial directional prediction range for intra prediction of a M×N current block;

determining whether to modify the intra prediction mode from the initial directional prediction range into a modified directional prediction range based on a horizontal length (N) and a vertical length (M) of the M×N current block;

determining the modified intra prediction mode belonging to the modified directional prediction range; and

performing the intra prediction of the M×N current block based on the modified intra prediction mode,

wherein the initial directional prediction range comprises a first prediction range indicating center degrees, a second prediction range indicating higher degrees adjacent to the center degrees and a third prediction range indicating lower degrees adjacent to the center degrees,

wherein the modified directional prediction range is determined to comprise the first prediction range, the second prediction range and a fourth prediction range indicating higher degrees other than the second prediction range, according to the vertical length (M) of the M×N current block, and

wherein the intra prediction of the M×N current block is performed by using a reference region adjacent to the M×N current block.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the fourth prediction range is derived based on the third prediction range.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the modified directional prediction range is determined to comprise the first prediction range, the third prediction range and a fifth prediction range indicating lower degrees other than the third prediction range, according to the horizontal length (N) of the M×N current block.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the initial directional prediction range for intra prediction of the M×N current block is determined on the basis of an angle ranging from 45 degrees to 315 degrees.

6. An intra prediction method for video encoding, comprising:

determining an intra prediction mode belonging to an initial directional prediction range for intra prediction of a M×N current block;

determining whether to modify the intra prediction mode from the initial directional prediction range into a modified directional prediction range based on a horizontal length (N) and a vertical length (M) of the M×N current block;

determining the modified intra prediction mode belonging to the modified directional prediction range; and

performing the intra prediction of the M×N current block based on the modified intra prediction mode,

11. A non-transitory computer-readable medium for storing a bitstream associated with a video signal,

wherein the bitstream includes a M×N current block encoded by intra prediction,

wherein the intra prediction of the M×N current block is performed based on a modified intra prediction mode,

wherein the modified intra prediction mode belongs to a modified directional prediction range,

wherein whether to modify an intra prediction mode from an initial directional prediction range into the modified directional prediction range is determined based on a horizontal length (N) and a vertical length (M) of the M×N current block,

wherein the intra prediction mode belongs to the initial directional prediction range,

wherein the initial directional prediction range comprises a first prediction range indicating center degrees, a second prediction range indicating higher degrees adjacent to the center degrees and a third prediction range indicating lower degrees adjacent to the center degrees,

wherein the modified directional prediction range is determined to comprise the first prediction range, the second prediction range and a fourth prediction range indicating higher degrees other than the second prediction range, according to the vertical length (M) of the M×N current block, and
