Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An image decoding method performed by a decoding apparatus according to the present document comprises the steps of: deriving prediction samples for a first sample and a second sample of the current block on the basis of BDPCM-related information about the current block and neighboring samples of the current block; deriving residual samples for the first sample and the second sample on the basis of a residual coefficient of the first sample and a modified residual coefficient of the second sample; and storing, as the intra prediction mode of the current block, the intra prediction mode in the prediction direction of the current block, which is derived on the basis of a BDPCM direction flag.

What is claimed is: 1. An image decoding apparatus comprising: a memory; and at least one processor connected to the memory, the at least one processor configured to: obtain image information including Block-based Delta Pulse Code Modulation (BDPCM) related information for a current block; derive prediction samples for a first sample and a second sample of the current block based on the BDPCM related information and a neighboring sample of the current block; and derive reconstructed samples for the first sample and the second sample based on the prediction samples; wherein an intra prediction mode of a prediction direction of the current block is derived based on a BDPCM direction flag as an intra prediction mode of the current block, wherein the BDPCM related information includes the BDPCM direction flag representing the prediction direction, wherein based on the prediction direction being a horizontal direction, a horizontal intra prediction mode is derived as an intra prediction mode of the current block, wherein based on the prediction direction being a vertical direction, a vertical intra prediction mode is derived as the intra prediction mode of the current block, wherein the first sample is a sample in the current block adjacent to the neighboring sample, and the second sample is a sample in the current block adjacent to the first sample in the prediction direction, wherein the intra prediction mode derived as the intra prediction mode of the current block is used for prediction for a block coded after the current block, and wherein the block coded after the current block is a block within a current Coding Tree Unit (CTU) or a neighboring CTU in a current picture or a reference picture. 2. An image encoding apparatus comprising: a memory; and at least one processor connected to the memory, the at least one processor configured to: derive prediction samples for a first sample and a second sample of a current block based on Block-based Delta Pulse Code Modulation (BDPCM) and a neighboring sample of the current block; and encode a BDPCM flag representing that the BDPCM is applied to the current block and a BDPCM direction flag representing a prediction direction for the current block; wherein an intra prediction mode of the prediction direction as an intra prediction mode of the current block is derived based on the BDPCM, wherein the first sample is a sample in the current block adjacent to the neighboring sample, and the second sample is a sample in the current block adjacent to the first sample in the prediction direction, wherein based on the prediction direction being a horizontal direction, a horizontal intra prediction mode is derived as an intra prediction mode of the current block, wherein based on the prediction direction being a vertical direction, a vertical intra prediction mode is derived as the intra prediction mode of the current block, wherein the intra prediction mode derived as the intra prediction mode of the current block is used for prediction for a block coded after the current block, and wherein the block coded after the current block is a block within a current Coding Tree Unit (CTU) or a neighboring CTU in a current picture or a reference picture. 3. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a bitstream comprising the BDPCM flag and the BDPCM direction flag encoded by the image encoding apparatus of claim 2 . 4. An apparatus for transmitting a bitstream for an image, the apparatus comprising: at least one processor configured to obtain the bitstream generated by an encoding apparatus; and a transmitter configured to transmit the bitstream; the bitstream is generated by: deriving prediction samples for a first sample and a second sample of a current block based on Block-based Delta Pulse Code Modulation (BDPCM) and a neighboring sample of the current block; and encoding a BDPCM flag representing that the BDPCM is applied to the current block and a BDPCM direction flag representing a prediction direction for the current block; wherein an intra prediction mode of the prediction direction as an intra prediction mode of the current block is derived based on the BDPCM, wherein the first sample is a sample in the current block adjacent to the neighboring sample, and the second sample is a sample in the current block adjacent to the first sample in the prediction direction, wherein based on the prediction direction being a horizontal direction, a horizontal intra prediction mode is derived as an intra prediction mode of the current block, wherein based on the prediction direction being a vertical direction, a vertical intra prediction mode is derived as the intra prediction mode of the current block, wherein the intra prediction mode derived as the intra prediction mode of the current block is used for prediction for a block coded after the current block, and wherein the block coded after the current block is a block within a current Coding Tree Unit (CTU) or a neighboring CTU in a current picture or a reference picture.
