Abstract

An intra prediction method according to the present invention comprises the following steps: performing a directional prediction using at least one of a neighboring pixel of a current block and a left upper corner pixel positioned at a left upper corner of the current block so as to obtain a first prediction value for the current block; obtaining a second prediction value for the current block using the reference sample positioned in the current block; and weighted summing the first prediction value and the second prediction value using a weighting matrix so as to obtain a final prediction value for the current block. According to the present invention, image encoding/decoding efficiency may be improved.

Claims (33)

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

deriving a first prediction value for a current block by performing prediction using, as a first reference sample, at least one of neighboring samples adjacent to the current block;

deriving a second prediction value for the current block by using, as a second reference sample, at least one of a reference sample positioned in the current block and a left upper corner sample at a left upper corner of the current block; and

deriving a final prediction value for the current block by using values obtained by applying a first weight to the first prediction value and applying a second weight to the second prediction value,

wherein the first weight and the second weight are determined based on an intra prediction mode of the current block.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the deriving of the second prediction value further comprises:

determining a position of the second reference sample;

reconstructing the second reference sample of the determined position; and

deriving the second prediction value using the reconstructed second reference sample.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the determining the position of the second reference sample determines a predetermined fixed position as the position of the second reference sample.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the positioning of the second reference sample further comprises:

receiving position information on the position of the second reference sample from an bitstream;

decoding the position information; and

determining a position of the second reference sample using the decoded position information.

5. The method of claim 2 , wherein the determining the position of the second reference sample determines the position of the second reference sample using neighboring block information included in one or more reconstructed neighboring blocks,

the one or more reconstructed neighboring blocks being blocks adjacent to the current block and the neighboring block information being at least one of partition information, prediction direction information, and quantization parameter information of the reconstructed neighboring blocks.

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

deriving a first prediction value for a current block by performing prediction using, as a first reference sample, at least one of neighboring samples adjacent to the current block;

deriving a second prediction value for the current block by using, as a second reference sample, at least one of a reference sample positioned in the current block and a left upper corner sample at a left upper corner of the current block; and

deriving a final prediction value for the current block by using values obtained by applying a first weight to the first prediction value and applying a second weight to the second prediction value,

wherein the first weight and the second weight are determined based on an intra prediction mode of the current block.

7. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a bitstream which is received and decoded by an image decoding apparatus and used to reconstruct an image, comprising:

deriving a first prediction value for a current block by performing prediction using, as a first reference sample, at least one of neighboring samples adjacent to the current block;

deriving a second prediction value for the current block by using, as a second reference sample, at least one of a reference sample positioned in the current block and a left upper corner sample at a left upper corner of the current block; and

deriving a final prediction value for the current block by using values obtained by applying a first weight to the first prediction value and applying a second weight to the second prediction value,

wherein the first weight and the second weight are determined based on an intra prediction mode of the current block.

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

deriving a first prediction value by using two neighboring samples adjacent to a current block;

deriving a second prediction value by deriving a reference sample value of a reference sample at a predetermined position inside the current block; and

generating a prediction block of the current block by weighted summing a sample value of neighboring samples adjacent to the current block and the second prediction value,

wherein the two neighboring samples used for deriving the first prediction value are adjacent to each other.

9. The image decoding method of claim 8 ,

wherein the first prediction value is derived as a weighted sum of the two neighboring samples adjacent to each other.
