1. An encoding method of an image encoding device, the encoding method comprising:
predicting an intra mode for coding blocks of a minimum size for intra prediction to generate an intra pixel; and
re-using the intra mode of the coding blocks of the minimum size to determine an intra mode of coding blocks of a larger size,
wherein the coding block of the minimum size corresponds to a coding block of a 4×4 pixel size or 8×8 pixel size,
wherein the intra mode of the coding block of the larger size is predicted through average calculation in a case where there is no planar mode or DC mode in an intra mode of four coding blocks of the minimum size, and
wherein the intra mode of the coding block of the larger size is predicted as the planar mode in a case where there are two or more planar mode coding blocks in the intra mode of the four coding blocks of the minimum size, and the intra mode of the coding block of the larger size is predicted as the DC mode in a case where there are two or more DC modes in the intra mode of the four coding blocks of the minimum size.
2. The encoding method of claim 1 , wherein the intra mode of the coding block of the larger size is predicted as the planar mode in a case where the number of planar modes in the intra mode of the four coding blocks of the minimum size is equal to or larger than the number of the DC modes.
3. The encoding method of claim 1 , wherein the intra mode of the coding block of the larger size is determined based on an average value of the intra modes of the four coding blocks in a case where there is no planar mode or DC mode in the intra modes of the four coding blocks of the minimum size.
4. The encoding method of claim 3 , wherein the intra mode of the coding block of the larger size is determined to be the DC mode in a case where there is no planar mode or DC mode in the intra modes of the four coding blocks of the minimum size and the number of vertical modes is equal to the number of horizontal modes.

predicting an intra mode for coding blocks of a minimum size for intra prediction to generate an intra pixel; and
re-using the intra mode of the coding blocks of the minimum size to determine an intra mode of coding blocks of a larger size,

wherein a sum of an error between each of four coding blocks of the 8×8 pixel size and an original image is compared to an error between a single coding block of the 16×16 pixel size and the original image to determine a size of a coding tree unit.
6. The encoding method of claim 5 , wherein the coding tree unit is determined to be the 8×8 pixel size in a case where the sum of the error between each of the four coding blocks of the 8×8 pixel size and the original image is smaller than the error between the single coding block of the 16×16 pixel size and the original image.
