The present invention relates to an intra prediction scheme among video coding techniques and, more particularly, relates to a video decoding method and apparatus for diving a block into a plurality of sub-blocks when intra prediction is performed and sequentially performing infra prediction on each of the sub-blocks. The decoding method performed by a video decoding apparatus includes determining whether to perform sub-block-based intra prediction on a current coding unit, dividing the current coding unit into a plurality of sub-blocks, performing intra prediction on each of the sub-blocks when a result of determination of whether to perform sub-block-based intra prediction has a value of “true”, and directly performing block-based intra prediction on the current coding unit without dividing the current coding unit when the result of the determination has a value of “false”.

The image encoding/decoding method and device according to the present invention can construct a merge candidate list of a current block, derive motion information of the current block on the basis of the merge candidate list and a merge index of the current block, derive a motion vector difference of the current block, correct a motion vector of the current block by means of the motion vector difference, and carry out motion compensation on the current block by means of the corrected motion vector.

A video signal encoding/decoding method and apparatus according to the present invention divide a current block into two prediction units, construct a list of merge candidates for the current block, derive motion information of the current block using a merge candidate index and the list of merge candidates of the current block, and perform inter-prediction of the current block using the derived motion information.

The video encoding/decoding method and device according to the present invention can determine an intra prediction mode of a chroma block, specify a luminance area for inter-component reference of the chroma block, downsample the specified luminance area, derive parameters for the inter-component reference of the chroma block, apply the parameters to the downsampled luminance area, and thereby predict the chroma block.

An encoding/decoding method and device according to the present disclosure may: determine at least one among a plurality of inter prediction modes as the inter prediction mode of the current block; form an inter prediction candidate list on the basis of the determined inter prediction mode; perform motion compensation on the basis of one prediction candidate in the inter prediction candidate list, and generate a first prediction block of the current block; and correct the first prediction block by using a prescribed intra prediction mode.

An intra prediction mode encoding and decoding method, an image decoding device, and an image encoding device operate by deriving most probable modes (MPMs) from surrounding prediction units adjacent to a current prediction unit and deriving an intra prediction mode of the current prediction unit on the basis of an MPM flag indicating whether an MPM having the same prediction mode as the intra prediction mode of the current prediction unit exists among the derived MPMs.

The present invention relates to a method and a device for decoding an image, which improve encoding and decoding efficiency by performing various forms of transform and inverse transform during transform and inverse transform processes of a video coding technique.

A decoding method comprises the steps of: combining two or more encoding units of maximum size into a single encoding unit group; acquiring encoding data corresponding to the combined single encoding unit group; and decoding, according to a decoding order, the two or more encoding units of maximum size contained in the single encoding unit group. Also disclosed is a block partitioning structure used for encoding and decoding video.

The present invention provides an image encoding method and an image decoding method. The image decoding method of the present invention may comprise: obtaining intra-frame prediction information of a current block from a bitstream; inducing an intra-frame prediction mode of the current block on the basis of the intra-frame prediction information; determining a reference region for intra-frame prediction of the current block; and performing intra-frame prediction of the current block on the basis of the intra-frame prediction mode and the reference region.
