Disclosed is a video signal processing method and device for encoding or decoding a video signal. More specifically, disclosed are a video signal processing method and a video signal processing device for performing the method, the method comprising: obtaining reference line information indicating a reference line for intra prediction of a current block among a plurality of reference lines comprising neighboring samples of the current block; determining, on the basis of the reference line information, an intra prediction mode for the current block among a plurality of intra prediction modes constituting an intra prediction mode set; and decoding the current block on the basis of a plurality of reference samples on the reference line according to the reference line information and the determined intra prediction mode, wherein the plurality of reference lines include a first reference line comprising neighboring samples on a line adjacent to the boundary of the current block and a second reference line comprising neighboring samples on a line spaced a distance corresponding to a predetermined number of samples apart from the boundary of the current block.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A method for processing a video signal comprising: obtaining reference line information indicating a reference line used for intra prediction of a current block among a plurality of reference lines configured with neighboring samples of the current block; determining an intra prediction mode for the current block among a plurality of intra prediction modes configuring an intra prediction mode set based on the reference line information; and decoding the current block based on a plurality of reference samples on a reference line according to the reference line information and the determined intra prediction mode, wherein the plurality of reference lines comprise a first reference line configured with neighboring samples on a line adjacent to the boundary of the current block, and a second reference line configured with neighboring samples on a line spaced by a specific number of samples based on the boundary of the current block. 2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein when the reference line for intra prediction of the current block is the first reference line, the intra prediction mode set is a first intra prediction mode set, wherein when the reference line for intra prediction of the current block is not the first reference line, the intra prediction mode set is a second intra prediction mode set configured with part of a plurality of intra prediction modes configuring the first intra prediction mode set. 3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the second intra prediction mode set does not include a planar mode. 4 . The method of claim 3 , wherein the second intra prediction mode set is determined based on an intra prediction mode corresponding to any one of neighboring blocks of the current block, wherein the second intra prediction mode set includes at least one of a direct current mode (DC mode) and/or a plurality number of angular modes, and wherein the plurality number of angular modes is a preset number of angular modes. 5 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the determining of the intra prediction mode for the current block comprises: receiving intra prediction mode information indicating the DC mode or any one of the preset number of angular modes included in the second intra prediction mode set; and determining an intra prediction mode for the current block based on the intra prediction mode information. 6 .
