Abstract

A video decoding method according to the present document is characterized by comprising: obtaining Most Probable Mode (MPM) index information and reference line index information from a bitstream; compiling an MPM list including candidate intra prediction modes for the intra prediction of a current block; deriving an intra prediction mode for the current block from among the candidate intra prediction modes included in the MPM list on the basis of the MPM index information; generating prediction samples for the current block on the basis of the intra prediction mode; and generating reconstructed samples for the current block on the basis of the prediction samples, wherein the step for compiling the MPM list involves deriving a DC mode as one of the candidate intra prediction modes, and including the DC mode in the MPM list, the DC mode being derived on the basis of the value of reference line index information indicating a reference line used for the intra prediction of the current block not being zero.
