Abstract

An image encoding/decoding method and apparatus are provided. An image decoding method performed by an image decoding apparatus may comprise obtaining a current block by splitting an image, determining prediction mode characteristic information based on encoding information of the current block, determining a prediction mode type of a lower-layer block split from the current block based on the prediction mode characteristic information, obtaining the lower-layer block by splitting the current block, and decoding the lower-layer block based on the determined prediction mode type of the lower-layer block. The prediction mode characteristic information may be determined based on a color format of the current block.

Claims (36)

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

determining prediction mode characteristic information of a first block;

determining a prediction mode type of a second block included in the first block based on the determined prediction mode characteristic information; and

decoding the second block based on the determined prediction mode type,

wherein the prediction mode characteristic information is determined based on a color format of the first block.

2. The image decoding method of claim 1 ,

wherein the second block is obtained by splitting the first block based on a predetermined splitting structure.

3. The image decoding method of claim 2 ,

wherein the splitting structure is determined to be a dual tree structure, based on the prediction mode type of the second block being an intra prediction mode type.

4. The image decoding method of claim 1 ,

wherein the prediction mode characteristic information is determined to be a first value, based on the color format of the first block being a monochrome format or a 4:4:4 format.

5. The image decoding method of claim 1 ,

wherein, based on a number of luma samples of the first block being 64 and a splitting mode of the first block being a binary splitting mode and the color format of the first block being a predetermined format, the prediction mode characteristic information is determined to be a first value.

6. The image decoding method of claim 1 ,

wherein, based on a number of luma samples of the first block being 128 and a splitting mode of the first block being a ternary splitting mode and the color format of the first block being a predetermined format, the prediction mode characteristic information is determined to be a first value.

7. The image decoding method of claim 1 ,

wherein the prediction mode characteristic information is determined further based on whether a slice to which the first block belongs is an I slice.

8. The image decoding method of claim 1 ,

wherein, based on a number of luma samples of the first block being 64 and a splitting mode of the first block being a binary splitting mode and the color format of the first block being a 4:2:0 format, the prediction mode characteristic information is determined to be a second value or a third value based on whether a slice to which the current block belongs is an I slice.

9. The image decoding method of claim 1 ,

wherein, based on a number of luma samples of the first block being 128 and a splitting mode of the first block being a ternary splitting mode and the color format of the first block being a 4:2:0 format, the prediction mode characteristic information is determined to be a second value or a third value based on whether a slice to which the current block belongs is an I slice.

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

determining prediction mode characteristic information of a first block;

determining a prediction mode type of a second block included in the first block based on the determined prediction mode characteristic information; and

encoding the second block based on the determined prediction mode type,

wherein the prediction mode characteristic information is determined based on a color format of the first block.

11. The image encoding method of claim 10 ,

wherein, based on a number of luma samples of the first block being 64 and a splitting mode of the first block being a binary splitting mode and the color format of the first block being a predetermined format, the prediction mode characteristic information is determined to be a first value.

12. The image encoding method of claim 10 ,

wherein, based on a number of luma samples of the first block being 128 and a splitting mode of the first block being a ternary splitting mode and the color format of the first block being a predetermined format, the prediction mode characteristic information is determined to be a first value.

13. The image encoding method of claim 10 ,

wherein the prediction mode characteristic information is determined further based on whether a slice to which the first block belongs is an I slice.

14. A method of transmitting a bitstream generated by an image encoding method, the image encoding method comprising:

determining prediction mode characteristic information of a first block;

determining a prediction mode type of a second block included in the first block, based on the determined prediction mode characteristic information; and

encoding the second block based on the determined prediction mode type, wherein the prediction mode characteristic information is determined based on a color format of the first block.
