Abstract

Provided are method and apparatus methods and apparatuses for encoding an intra-prediction mode based on a secondary IPM. The present invention may comprises a first decision step of determining whether an intra-prediction mode of a current block is included in a first candidate mode set including M candidate modes (M is an integer equal to or greater than 1); a second decision step of determining whether the intra-prediction mode of the current block is included in a second candidate mode set including N candidate modes (N is an integer equal to or greater than 1) based on a first determination result representing a determination result of the first decision step; and an intra prediction mode encoding step of encoding the intra-prediction mode of the current block based on the first determination result or a second determination result representing a determination result of the second decision step.

Claims (26)

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

determining an intra prediction mode of a current block;

encoding selection information indicating the intra prediction mode of the current block is related to a first candidate mode set or a second candidate mode set;

based on that the intra prediction mode of the current block is related to the second candidate mode set, encoding indication information indicating the intra prediction mode of the current block from the second candidate mode set; and

predicting the current block based on the intra prediction mode of the current block,

wherein the second candidate mode set includes a candidate mode derived based on an index value of an intra prediction mode of a left block adjacent to the current block and an index value of an intra prediction mode of an upper block adjacent to the current block,

wherein based on a case that (i) the intra prediction mode of the left block is equal to the intra prediction mode of the upper block and (ii) the intra prediction mode of the left block is a planar mode or a DC mode, the second candidate mode set includes a mode for an index value corresponding to an index value 50 of a vertical mode plus 4 and a mode for an index value corresponding to an index value 50 of the vertical mode minus 4,

wherein the second candidate mode set for a case that (iii) the intra prediction mode of the left block is not equal to the intra prediction mode of the upper block and (iv) one of the intra prediction mode of the left block and the intra prediction mode of the upper block is the planar mode and the other is the DC mode, is equal to the second candidate mode set for the case that (i) the intra prediction mode of the left block is equal to the intra prediction mode of the upper block and (ii) the intra prediction mode of the left block is the planar mode or the DC mode.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein indication information indicating the intra prediction mode of the current block from the second candidate mode set is configured by up to 4 bits.

3. A non-transitory computer-readable recording-medium storing a bitstream which is generated by the image encoding method of claim 1 .

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

decoding selection information indicating an intra prediction mode of the current block is related to a first candidate mode set or a second candidate mode set;

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein indication information indicating the intra prediction mode of the current block from the second candidate mode set is configured by up to 4 bits.

6. A transmission method for image data, the method comprising:

obtaining a bitstream generated by an image encoding method, wherein the image encoding method comprises determining an intra prediction mode of a current block, encoding selection information indicating the intra prediction mode of the current block is related to a first candidate mode set or a second candidate mode set, based on that the intra prediction mode of the current block is related to the second candidate mode set, encoding indication information indicating the intra prediction mode of the current block from the second candidate mode set, and predicting the current block based on the intra prediction mode of the current block; and
