Abstract

Claims (35)

1. A method of decoding an image based on intra prediction,

wherein a current block in the image is divided into two regions including a first region and a second region,

the method comprising:

generating first prediction samples in the first region in the current block based on a first reference sample group for the first region, reference samples in the first reference sample group being located outside the current block; and

generating second prediction samples in the second region in the current block based on a second reference sample group for the second region, the second reference sample group comprising at least one reference sample located outside the current block and at least one first prediction sample in the first region,

wherein a first prediction sample in the first region is generated based on an averaged value of a plurality of reference samples in the first reference sample group,

wherein a second prediction sample in the second region is generated by utilizing either a vertical reference sample or a horizontal reference sample in the second reference sample group, the vertical reference sample being lying on the same vertical line as the second prediction sample and the horizontal reference sample being lying on the same horizontal line as the second prediction sample,

wherein third prediction samples in the second region are further generated based on the second prediction samples, that are generated after the first prediction samples, in the second region,

wherein a third prediction sample in the second region is derived by applying a pre-defined filter to a plurality of second prediction samples in the second region, and

wherein the plurality of second prediction samples for deriving the third prediction sample are on the same vertical or horizontal line.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first prediction samples included in the first region are distributed in multiple columns and multiple lines in the current block, and

wherein the second region is a remaining region excluding the first region in the current block.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the number of columns is less than a width of the current block and the number of rows is less than a height of the current block.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the number of columns and the number of rows are adaptively determined based on at least one of a size of the current block or a shape of the current block.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein whether an intra prediction by distinguishing the current block with the first region and the second region is allowed for the current block or not is determined based on a flag signaled at a sequence level.

6. A method of encoding an image based on intra prediction,

wherein a current block in the image is divided into two regions including a first region and a second region,

the method comprising:

generating first prediction samples in the first region in the current block based on a first reference sample group for the first region, reference samples in the first reference sample group being located outside the current block; and

generating second prediction samples in the second region in the current block based on a second reference sample group for the second region, the reference sample group comprising at least one reference sample located outside the current block and at least one first prediction sample in the first region,

wherein a first prediction sample in the first region is generated based on an averaged value of a plurality of reference samples in the first reference sample group,

wherein a second prediction sample in the second region is generated by utilizing either a vertical reference sample or a horizontal reference sample in the second reference sample group, the vertical reference sample being lying on the same vertical line as the second prediction sample and the horizontal reference sample being lying on the same horizontal line as the second prediction sample,

wherein third prediction samples in the second region are further generated based on the second prediction samples, that are generated after the first prediction samples, in the second region,

wherein a third prediction sample in the second region is derived by applying a pre-defined filter to a plurality of second prediction samples in the second region, and

wherein the plurality of second prediction samples for deriving the third prediction sample are on the same vertical or horizontal line.

7. A non-transitory computer-readable medium for storing data associated with an image signal, comprising:

a data stream stored in the non-transitory computer-readable medium, the data stream comprising a current block encoded by intra prediction,

wherein the current block is divided into two regions including a first region and a second region,

wherein first prediction samples in the first region in the current block are generated based on a first reference sample group for the first region, reference samples in the first reference sample group being located outside the current block,

wherein second prediction samples in the second region in the current block are generated based on a second reference sample group for the second region, the second reference sample group comprising at least one reference sample located outside the current block and at least one first prediction sample in the first region,

wherein a first prediction sample in the first region is generated based on an averaged value of a plurality of reference samples in the first reference sample group,

wherein a second prediction sample in the second region is generated by utilizing either a vertical reference sample or a horizontal reference sample in the second reference sample group, the vertical reference sample being lying on the same vertical line as the second prediction sample and the horizontal reference sample being lying on the same horizontal line as the second prediction sample,

wherein third prediction samples in the second region are further generated based on the second prediction samples, that are generated after the first prediction samples, in the second region,

wherein a third prediction sample in the second region is derived by applying a pre-defined filter to a plurality of second prediction samples in the second region, and

wherein the plurality of second prediction samples for deriving the third prediction sample are on the same vertical or horizontal line.
