Abstract

Provided are a method and apparatus for performing intra prediction, in a video encoding and decoding procedure, by configuring an additional mode set based on most probable mode (MPM) modes of a current block, and determining an intra prediction mode of the current block, based on the MPM modes and the additional mode set. To solve the technical problems, a video decoding method provided in the present disclosure includes configuring an additional mode set based on MPM modes of a current block; determining an intra prediction mode of the current block, based on the MPM modes and the additional mode set; and performing intra prediction on the current block, based on the intra prediction mode.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A video decoding method comprising:
if a first flag indicates not to use any one among a plurality of intra prediction modes included in most probable mode (MPM) list as an intra prediction mode of a current block, obtaining, from a bitstream, a second flag indicating whether to use one among a plurality of intra prediction modes included in an additional mode list or one among a plurality of remaining intra prediction modes as the intra prediction mode of the current block;
configuring the additional mode list using the plurality of intra prediction modes included in the MPM list;
if the second flag indicates to use the one among the plurality of intra prediction modes included in the additional mode list as the intra prediction mode of the current block, determining an intra prediction mode among the plurality of intra prediction modes included in the additional mode list to be the intra prediction mode of the current block; and
performing intra prediction on the current block using the intra prediction mode of the current block,
wherein when the plurality of intra prediction modes included in the MPM list are all angular modes, the additional mode list includes an intra prediction mode having an index decreased by 2 from an index of one among the plurality of intra prediction modes included in the MPM list, and
wherein when the first flag indicates not to use the any one among the plurality of intra prediction modes included in the MPM list as the intra prediction mode of the current block and the second flag indicates not to use any one among the plurality of intra prediction modes included in the additional mode list as the intra prediction mode of the current block, the one among the plurality of remaining intra prediction modes is determined to be the intra prediction mode of the current block.

2. A video decoding apparatus comprising:
a memory; and
at least one processor connected with the memory,
wherein the at least one processor is configured to
configure an additional mode set based on most probable mode (MPM) modes of a current block,
if a flag, obtained from a bitstream, indicates that the additional mode set is used in determining an intra prediction mode of the current block, determine an additional mode among a plurality of additional modes included in the additional mode set as the intra prediction mode of the current block, and
perform intra prediction on the current block, based on the intra prediction mode of the current block,
wherein, when the types of the MPM modes are all angular modes, the additional mode set comprises at least one of a DC mode, an intra prediction modes having an index increased by 1 from index of the one of the MPM modes, intra prediction modes having an index decreased by 1 from the index of the one of the MPM modes, and intra prediction modes having an index decreased by 2 from the index of the one of the MPM modes.
