Abstract

There is provided an image encoding/decoding method and apparatus. An image decoding method according to the present invention may comprise reconstructing a most frequent mode (MFM) indicator indicating whether or not an intra prediction mode of a current block is a predetermined intra prediction mode, deriving, on the basis of the MFM indicator, the intra prediction mode of the current block, and generating a prediction block of the current block by performing intra prediction on the current block on the basis of the intra prediction mode.

Claims (29)

1. An image decoding method comprising:

reconstructing a most frequent mode (MFM) indicator indicating whether or not an intra prediction mode of a current block is a Planar mode;

deriving, on the basis of the MFM indicator, the intra prediction mode of the current block; and

generating a prediction block of the current block by performing intra prediction on the current block on the basis of the intra prediction mode,

wherein when the MFM indicator has a first value, the intra prediction mode of the current block is derived to be the Planar mode,

wherein when the MFM indicator has a second value, a most probable mode (MPM) list is constructed on the basis of intra prediction modes of neighboring blocks of the current block and the intra prediction mode of the current block is derived on the basis of the MPM list,

wherein the MFM indicator is reconstructed from a bitstream in consideration of whether a MPM indicator related to a most probable mode is equal to a second value,

wherein the MFM indicator is reconstructed from the bitstream only when the MPM indicator is equal to the second value,

wherein when a reference line index indicating a reference line among more than one reference lines does not indicate a first reference line immediately adjacent to the current block, filtering is not performed on the reference line.

2. The image decoding method of claim 1 , wherein the MPM list is constructed so as not to include the Planar mode.

3. An image encoding method comprising:

determining an intra prediction mode of a current block;

generating a prediction block of the current block by performing intra prediction on the current block on the basis of the intra prediction mode;

deciding whether or not the intra prediction mode of the current block is a Planar mode; and

encoding, on the basis of a result of the decision, a most frequent mode (MFM) indicator,

wherein the MFM indicator is set to a first value to indicate that the intra prediction mode of the current block is to be the Planar mode,

wherein the MFM indicator is set to a second value to indicate that the intra prediction mode of the current block is to be derived on the basis of a most probable mode (MPM) list, the MPM list is constructed on the basis of intra prediction modes of neighboring blocks of the current block, and

wherein the MFM indicator is encoded to a bitstream in consideration of whether a MPM indicator related to a most probable mode is equal to a second value,

wherein the MFM indicator is encoded to the bitstream only when the MPM indicator is equal to the second value,

wherein when a reference line index indicating a reference line among more than one reference lines does not indicate a first reference line immediately adjacent to the current block, filtering is not performed on the reference line.

4. The image encoding method of claim 3 , wherein the MPM list is constructed so as not to include the Planar mode.

5. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a bitstream which is received, decoded and used to reconstruct an image by an image decoding apparatus, wherein the bitstream comprises a most frequent mode (MFM) indicator indicating whether or not an intra prediction mode of a current block is a Planar mode,

the MFM indicator is used to derive the intra prediction mode of the current block, and

the intra prediction mode is used to generate a prediction block of the current block by performing intra prediction on the current block,

wherein when the MFM indicator has a first value, the intra prediction mode of the current block is derived to be the Planar mode,

wherein when the MFM indicator has a second value, a most probable mode (MPM) list is constructed on the basis of intra prediction modes of neighboring blocks of the current block and the intra prediction mode of the current block is derived on the basis of the MPM list,

wherein the MFM indicator is reconstructed from a bitstream in consideration of whether a MPM indicator related to a most probable mode is equal to a second value,

wherein the MFM indicator is reconstructed from the bitstream only when the MPM indicator is equal to the second value,

wherein when a reference line index indicating a reference line among more than one reference lines does not indicate a first reference line immediately adjacent to the current block, filtering is not performed on the reference line.
