  • Patent number: 11039148
    Abstract: Disclosed are an image encoding/decoding method and apparatus. The method and apparatus select at least one reference pixel line from among multiple reference pixel lines and derive a predicted value of a pixel within a current block by using the value of at least one pixel within the selected reference pixel line(s). Alternatively, the method and apparatus derive an intra prediction mode of a reconstructed pixel region on the basis of a reference pixel region of at least one reconstructed pixel region, derive an intra prediction mode of a current block on the basis of the derived intra prediction mode of the reconstructed pixel region, obtain an intra prediction block of the current block by using the derived intra prediction mode, and reconstruct the current block by summing the obtained intra prediction block and a residual block of the current block.
