Abstract

An image decoding method performed by a decoding device according to the present document is characterized by comprising the steps of: acquiring image information including a Block-based Delta Pulse Code Modulation (BDPCM) available flag; and generating a reconstructed picture on the basis of the image information, wherein the BDPCM available flag relates to whether BDPCM is available for chroma and luma blocks.

Claims (45)

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

obtaining image information including a Block-based Delta Pulse Code Modulation (BDPCM) enabled flag; and

generating a reconstructed picture based on the image information,

wherein the BDPCM enabled flag is a flag indicating whether BDPCM is enabled for both a luma block and a chroma block within a current sequence or not,

wherein the BDPCM enabled flag is signaled through a sequence parameter set (SPS) syntax,

wherein obtaining the image information comprises,

obtaining, in response to a case where the BDPCM enabled flag indicates that the BDPCM is enabled for both the luma block and the chroma block within the current sequence, a BDPCM luma flag indicating whether the BDPCM is applied to a current luma block; and

obtaining, in response to the case where the BDPCM enabled flag indicates that the BDPCM is enabled for both the luma block and the chroma block within the current sequence, a BDPCM chroma flag indicating whether the BDPCM is applied to current chroma blocks.

2. The image decoding method of claim 1 , wherein obtaining the image information further comprises,

obtaining a BDPCM luma direction flag for a prediction direction of the current luma block based on a value of the BDPCM luma flag being equal to 1; and

obtaining a BDPCM chroma direction flag for a prediction direction of the current chroma blocks based on a value of the BDPCM chroma flag being equal to 1.

3. The image decoding method of claim 2 , wherein the prediction direction of the current luma block is derived as a horizontal direction based on a value of the BDPCM luma direction flag being equal to 0, and

wherein the prediction direction of the current luma block is derived as a vertical direction based on the value of the BDPCM luma direction flag being equal to 1.

4. The image decoding method of claim 2 , wherein the prediction direction of the current chroma blocks is derived as a horizontal direction based on a value of the BDPCM chroma direction flag being equal to 0, and

wherein the prediction direction of the current chroma blocks is derived as a vertical direction based on the value of the BDPCM chroma direction flag being equal to 1.

5. The image decoding method of claim 2 , wherein, in response to a case where a tree type of an image is a single tree, and the BDPCM enabled flag indicates that the BDPCM is enabled for both the luma block and the chroma block within the current sequence 1, the BDPCM chroma flag and the BDPCM chroma direction flag are signaled.

6. The image decoding method of claim 2 , wherein the current chroma blocks comprise a current chroma Cb block and a current chroma Cr block.

7. The image decoding method of claim 1 , wherein, in response to a case where a chroma format of an image is at least one of YUV 420 , YUV 444 , or YUV 422 , the BDPCM enabled flag is signaled.

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

encoding image information including a Block-based Delta Pulse Code Modulation (BDPCM) enabled flag; and

generating a bitstream including the image information,

wherein the BDPCM enabled flag is a flag indicating whether BDPCM is enabled for both a luma block and a chroma block within a current sequence or not,

wherein the BDPCM enabled flag is signaled through a sequence parameter set (SPS) syntax,

wherein encoding the image information comprises,

encoding, in response to a case where the BDPCM enabled flag indicates that the BDPCM is enabled for both the luma block and the chroma block within the current sequence, a BDPCM luma flag indicating whether the BDPCM is applied to a current luma block; and

encoding, in response to the case where the BDPCM enabled flag indicates that the BDPCM is enabled for both the luma block and the chroma block within the current sequence, a BDPCM chroma flag indicating whether the BDPCM is applied to current chroma blocks.

9. The image encoding method of claim 8 , wherein, in response to a case where a chroma format of an image is at least one of YUV 420 , YUV 444 , or YUV 422 , the BDPCM enabled flag is signaled.

10. The image encoding method of claim 8 , wherein the encoding the image information comprises encoding BDPCM-related information for a current luma block and BDPCM-related information for current chroma blocks based on the BDPCM enabled flag,

wherein the BDPCM-related information for the current luma block includes the BDPCM luma flag and a BDPCM luma direction flag for a prediction direction of the current luma block, and
