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 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 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, one among the plurality of remaining intra prediction modes is determined to be the intra prediction mode of the current block,
wherein the current block has one of a square shape and a non-square shape.

2. A video encoding 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, generating 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 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 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, one among the plurality of remaining intra prediction modes is determined to be the intra prediction mode of the current block,
wherein the current block has one of a square shape and a non-square shape.

3. A non-transitory computer-readable medium for recording a bitstream, the bitstream comprising:
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 an intra prediction mode of a current block;
wherein the second flag is obtained by:
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 the intra prediction mode of the current block, generating the second flag;
configuring the additional mode list using the plurality of intra prediction modes included in the MPM list;
if the second flag indicates to use 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 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, one among the plurality of remaining intra prediction modes is determined to be the intra prediction mode of the current block,
wherein the current block has one of a square shape and a non-square shape.
