6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein performing the intra prediction comprises:

partitioning the current block into a plurality of sub-blocks by using a vertical line or a horizontal line; and

sequentially performing the intra prediction in units of the sub-blocks,

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein performing the intra prediction comprising:

modifying a prediction value, generated by performing the intra prediction, based on a predetermined reference sample and a weight.

8 . The method of claim 7 , wherein each of the reference sample and the weight is determined based on at least one of a size of the current block, a position of a current sample to be modified, or the intra prediction mode of the current block.

9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein, in response to a case where the default mode is used for the intra prediction of the current block, an intra reference line for the intra prediction is restricted to be determined as only a reference line adjacent to the current block among a plurality of reference lines.
