Abstract

The present invention provides an image encoding method and an image decoding method. The image decoding method of the present invention may comprise: obtaining intra-frame prediction information of a current block from a bitstream; inducing an intra-frame prediction mode of the current block on the basis of the intra-frame prediction information; determining a reference region for intra-frame prediction of the current block; and performing intra-frame prediction of the current block on the basis of the intra-frame prediction mode and the reference region.

Claims (31)

1 . A method of decoding an image, comprising:

deriving an intra prediction mode of a current coding block; and

performing intra prediction on the current coding block based on the intra prediction mode of the current coding block,

wherein the current coding block is split into a plurality of sub-blocks based on information signaled from a bitstream,

wherein the intra prediction is sequentially performed on each of the plurality of sub-blocks in a predetermined coding order, and

wherein a number of the plurality of sub-blocks is variably determined based on a width and a height of the current coding block.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein, in response to a case where one of the width or the height of the current coding block is equal to 4 and the other one of the width or the height of the current coding block is equal to 8, the number of the plurality of sub-blocks is determined as N,

wherein, in response to a case where both the width and the height of the current coding block are greater than or equal to 8, the number of the plurality of the sub-blocks is determined as M, and

wherein N is an integer less than M.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein deriving the intra prediction mode comprises:

generating a most probable mode (MPM) list of the current coding block based on intra prediction modes of neighboring blocks of the current coding block; and

determining the intra prediction mode of the current coding block from the MPM list,

wherein the neighboring blocks include a left neighboring block and a top neighboring block, and

wherein a position of the left neighboring block is determined based on the height of the current coding block and a position of the top neighboring block is determined based on the width of the current coding block.

4 . The method of claim 3 , wherein the MPM list includes 5 MPMs.

5 . The method of claim 3 , wherein when there are a plurality of left blocks adjacent to the current coding block, a bottom-most block among the plurality of left blocks is determined as the left neighboring block, and

wherein when there is a plurality of top blocks adjacent to the current coding block, a right-most block among the plurality of top blocks is determined as the top neighboring block.

6 . A method of encoding an image, comprising:

deriving an intra prediction mode of a current coding block; and

performing intra prediction on the current coding block based on the intra prediction mode of the current coding block,

wherein the current coding block is split into sub-blocks,

wherein the intra prediction is sequentially performed on each of the sub-blocks in a predetermined coding order,

wherein a number of the sub-blocks is variably determined based on a width and a height of the current coding block, and

wherein information for indicating that the current coding block is split into the sub-blocks is encoded into a bitstream.

7 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium for storing a bitstream generated by an image encoding method, the image encoding method comprising:

deriving an intra prediction mode of a current coding block; and

performing intra prediction on the current coding block based on the intra prediction mode of the current coding block,

wherein the current coding block is split into sub-blocks,

wherein the intra prediction is sequentially performed on each of the sub-blocks in a predetermined coding order,

wherein a number of the sub-blocks is variably determined based on a width and a height of the current coding block, and

wherein information for indicating that the current coding block is split into the sub-blocks is encoded into the bitstream.
