Abstract

There is provided a method and apparatus of encoding/decoding an intra prediction mode. The method comprises deriving an intra prediction mode with respect to a current block, constructing a reference sample for the current block on the basis of the derived intra prediction mode, and performing the intra prediction with respect to the current block using the derived intra prediction mode and the constructed reference sample, wherein the intra prediction mode is derived on the basis of a most probable mode (MPM).

Claims (32)

1 . A method of decoding an image, the method comprising:

deriving an intra prediction mode of a current block based on a most probable mode (MPM) list including five intra prediction modes;

deriving a reference sample for the current block based on the intra prediction mode; and

predicting the current block based on the intra prediction mode and the reference sample,

wherein the MPM list is configured to include a first intra prediction mode being equal to a left intra prediction mode, a second intra prediction mode which index is (2+(intra prediction mode value of the left intra prediction mode+61) % 64), a third intra prediction mode which index is (2+(intra prediction mode value of the left intra prediction mode−1) % 64), a fourth intra prediction mode which index is (2+(intra prediction mode value of the left intra prediction mode+60) % 64), and a fifth intra prediction mode which index is (2+intra prediction mode value of the left intra prediction mode % 64),

wherein an index of a left intra prediction mode is equal to an index of an upper intra prediction mode and greater than 1,

wherein the left intra prediction mode is an intra prediction mode of a block adjacent to a left side of the current block and the upper intra prediction mode is an intra prediction mode of a block adjacent to an upper side of the current block, and

wherein the current block is obtained by dividing a coding tree unit using division information signaled from a bitstream.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein in a case where a size of the current block is W×H, the block adjacent to the upper side of the current block is a block to which a [W−1, −1] sample belongs.

3 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein in a case where a size of the current block is W×H, a block adjacent to a left side of the current block is a block to which a [−1, H−1] sample belongs.

4 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein in a case where the intra prediction mode of the current block is a directional intra prediction mode and where a reference sample corresponding to the intra prediction mode is present at an integer position, reference sample filtering is performed without applying an interpolation filter to the reference sample.

5 . A method of encoding an image, the method comprising:

determining an intra prediction mode of a current block;

deriving a reference sample for the current block based on the intra prediction mode;

predicting the current block based on the reference sample; and

encoding an intra prediction mode of the current block, wherein the intra prediction mode is encoded based on a most probable mode (MPM) list including five intra prediction modes,

wherein the MPM list is configured to include a first intra prediction mode being equal to a left intra prediction mode, a second intra prediction mode which index is (2+(intra prediction mode value of the left intra prediction mode+61) % 64), a third intra prediction mode which index is (2+(intra prediction mode value of the left intra prediction mode−1) % 64), a fourth intra prediction mode which index is (2+(intra prediction mode value of the left intra prediction mode+60) % 64), and a fifth intra prediction mode which index is (2+intra prediction mode value of the left intra prediction mode % 64),

wherein an index of a left intra prediction mode is equal to an index of an upper intra prediction mode and greater than 1,

wherein the left intra prediction mode is an intra prediction mode of a block adjacent to a left side of the current block and the upper intra prediction mode is an intra prediction mode of a block adjacent to an upper side of the current block, and

wherein division information related to a coding tree block division for obtaining the current block is encoded into a bitstream.

6 . The method according to claim 5 , wherein in a case where a size of the current block is W×H, the block adjacent to the upper side of the current block is a block to which a [W−1, −1] sample belongs.

7 . The method according to claim 5 , wherein in a case where a size of the current block is W×H, a block adjacent to a left side of the current block is a block to which a [−1, H−1] sample belongs.

8 . The method according to claim 5 , wherein in a case where the intra prediction mode of the current block is a directional intra prediction mode and where a reference sample corresponding to the intra prediction mode is present at an integer position, reference sample filtering is performed without applying an interpolation filter to the reference sample.

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

determining an intra prediction mode of a current block;

deriving a reference sample for the current block based on the intra prediction mode;

predicting the current block based on the reference sample; and

encoding an intra prediction mode of the current block, wherein the intra prediction mode is encoded based on a most probable mode (MPM) list including five intra prediction modes,

wherein the MPM list is configured to include a first intra prediction mode being equal to a left intra prediction mode, a second intra prediction mode which index is (2+(intra prediction mode value of the left intra prediction mode+61) % 64), a third intra prediction mode which index is (2+(intra prediction mode value of the left intra prediction mode−1) % 64), a fourth intra prediction mode which index is (2+(intra prediction mode value of the left intra prediction mode+60) % 64), and a fifth intra prediction mode which index is (2+intra prediction mode value of the left intra prediction mode % 64),

wherein an index of a left intra prediction mode is equal to an index of an upper intra prediction mode and greater than 1,

wherein the left intra prediction mode is an intra prediction mode of a block adjacent to a left side of the current block and the upper intra prediction mode is an intra prediction mode of a block adjacent to an upper side of the current block, and

wherein division information related to a coding tree block division for obtaining the current block is encoded into the bitstream.
