  • Patent number: 11750803
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an intra prediction mode mapping method and a device using the method. The intra prediction mode includes: decoding flag information providing information regarding whether an intra prediction mode of a plurality of candidate intra prediction modes for the current block is the same as the intra prediction mode for the current block, and decoding a syntax component including information regarding the intra prediction mode for the current block in order to induce the intra prediction mode for the current block if the intra prediction mode from among the plurality of candidate intra prediction modes for the current block is not the same as the intra prediction mode for the current block. Thus, it is possible to increase the efficiency with which are images are decoded.

  • Patent number: 11689717
    Abstract: The present invention relates to efficient signaling of an intra prediction mode for predicting a current block in intra prediction coding. According to an aspect of the present invention, a video encoding apparatus divides dozens of intra modes into groups, selects a group to which an actual intra mode of the current block to be encoded belongs, and signals a value corresponding to the group. The video decoding apparatus acquires information on the group to which the actual intra mode of the current block belongs from a bit-stream and then evaluates intra modes belonging to the group to select a final intra mode.
