Abstract

The present invention relates to an intra prediction method and apparatus. The image decoding method according to the present invention may comprise decoding information on intra prediction; and generating a prediction block by performing intra prediction for a current block based on the information on intra prediction. The information on intra prediction may include information on an intra prediction mode, and the intra prediction mode may include a curved intra prediction mode.

Claims (29)

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

obtaining, through a bitstream, image information comprising information on quantized transform coefficient levels;

deriving a prediction mode for a current block as one of inter mode or intra mode;

generating a predicted block of the current block based on the inter mode or the intra mode;

deriving transform coefficients based on the information on quantized transform coefficient levels;

determining a transform set for the current block;

deriving a reconstructed residual signal by performing inverse-transform based on the transform coefficients and a transform candidate in the transform set; and

generating a reconstructed block based on the predicted block and the reconstructed residual signal,

wherein the transform set includes a 2-dimensional (2D) transform candidate and a 1-dimensional (1D) transform candidate.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the transform set is one of transform sets including a first transform set for the intra mode and a second transform set for the inter mode,

wherein a number of transform candidates of the first transform set is different from a number of transform candidates of the second transform set.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the transform set is one of transform sets including a first transform set for the intra mode and a second transform set for the inter mode,

wherein types of transform candidates of the first transform set are different from types of transform candidates of the second transform set.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the number or the types of transform candidates of the transform set are determined differently further based on a size of the current block.

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

deriving a prediction mode for a current block as one of inter mode or intra mode;

generating predicted block of the current block based on the inter mode or the intra mode;

deriving a residual signal based on the predicted block;

determining a transform set for the current block;

deriving transform coefficients by performing transform based on the residual signal and a transform candidate in the transform set;

deriving quantized transform coefficient levels based on the transform coefficients; and

encoding image information including information on the quantized transform coefficient levels;

wherein the transform set includes a 2-dimensional (2D) transform candidate and a 1-dimensional (1D) transform candidate.

6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the transform set is one of transform sets including a first transform set for the intra mode and a second transform set for the inter mode,

wherein a number of transform candidates of the first transform set is different from a number of transform candidates of the second transform set.

7 . A transmission method for image data, the method comprising:

obtaining a bitstream of encoded image information, wherein the encoded image information is generated based on deriving a prediction mode for a current block as one of inter mode or intra mode, generating predicted block of the current block based on the inter mode or the intra mode, deriving a residual signal based on the predicted block, determining a transform set for the current block, deriving transform coefficients by performing transform based on the residual signal and a transform candidate in the transform set, deriving quantized transform coefficient levels based on the transform coefficients, and encoding image information including information on the quantized transform coefficient levels; and

transmitting the image data comprising the bitstream,

wherein the transform set includes a 2-dimensional (2D) transform candidate and a 1-dimensional (1D) transform candidate.
