Abstract

A video signal processing method comprises the steps of: parsing a first syntax element indicating whether to activate a DIMD mode, wherein the first syntax element is signaled on a sequence parameter set (SPS) raw byte sequence payload (RBSP) syntax; when the first syntax element indicates activation of the DIMD mode, parsing a second syntax element indicating whether the DIMD mode is applied to a current block; and when the second syntax element indicates that the DIMD mode is applied to the current block, reconstructing the current block on the basis of the DIMD mode.

a processor,

wherein the processor is configured to:

parse a first syntax element indicating whether a decoder side intra mode derivation (DIMD) mode is enabled, the first syntax element being signaled on a sequence parameter set (SPS) raw byte sequence payload (RBSP) syntax;

the MPM list is constructed based on the directional information of the neighboring blocks of the current block.

6 . The video signal decoding device of claim 5 , wherein the current block is reconstructed based on a combination of the derived intra-prediction mode and one of the prediction modes included in the MPM list.

7 . A video signal encoding device comprising
