Method of decoding an image using indicated most probable mode
Provided is a method of decoding an image, the method including: determining at least one prediction unit included in a current frame that is one of at least one frame forming the image; determining a reference region to be referred to by a current prediction unit that is one of the at least one prediction unit; changing a sample value included in at least one of the current prediction unit and the reference region, based on an analyzing result of a sample value of the reference region; determining a sample value included in the current prediction unit, based on a result of changing the sample value; and decoding the image based on the determined sample value of the current prediction unit.
1. A method of decoding an image, the method comprising:
obtaining, from a bitstream, information indicating whether a planar mode is used as an intra prediction mode for a current block or not;
if the information indicates that the planar mode is not used as the intra prediction mode for the current block, obtaining, from the bitstream, an index indicating a particular most probable mode among a plurality of most probable modes, wherein the plurality of most probable modes are determined based on at least one of an intra prediction mode of a block adjacent to a left of the current block and an intra prediction mode of a block adjacent to a top of the current block;
determining the intra prediction mode for the current block using the particular most probable mode indicated by the index among the plurality of most probable modes; and
decoding the current block according to the determined intra prediction mode for the current block,
wherein the current block has one of a square shape and a non-square shape.
