Abstract

Disclosed are a method for decoding a video signal and a device therefore. More particularly, a method for decoding an image based on an intra prediction mode, may comprise the steps of: acquiring a most probable mode (MPM) flag for indicating whether an MPM is applied to a current block, the MPM representing a mode in which an intra prediction mode of the current block is induced from an intra predicted block neighboring the current block; configuring an MPM list, on the basis of whether intra prediction modes of a left neighboring block and an above neighboring block of the current block satisfy predefined conditions, if the MPM is applied to the current block; acquiring an MPM index for indicating, within the MPM list, a specific intra prediction mode; and generating a prediction block for the current block by using the intra prediction mode specified by the MPM index.
