Abstract

The image encoding/decoding method and device according to the present invention may determine an intra prediction mode of a current block and perform intra prediction on the current block on the basis of the intra prediction mode, wherein the intra prediction mode of the current block is determined for each of a luminance block and a color difference block.

the MPM list includes an intra prediction mode of a neighboring block (ModeA), ModeA+n, and ModeA−n.

4. A method of encoding an image, comprising:

determining an intra prediction mode of a current block;

performing intra prediction on the current block based on the intra prediction mode, wherein the intra prediction mode of the current block is determined for each of a luma block and a chroma block, respectively; and

encoding an MPM index into a bitstream,

wherein the intra prediction mode of the luma block is derived based on an MPM (Most Probable Mode) list and an MPM index, and

wherein the current block is divided into a plurality of sub-blocks based on at least one of a size or a shape of the current block, and a plurality of divided lower sub-blocks belonging to a higher coding block share the MPM list,
