The image prediction method includes: determining, according to information about adjacent image units adjacent to a to-be-processed image unit, whether a set of candidate prediction modes for the to-be-processed image unit includes an affine merge mode, where the affine merge mode indicates that respective predicted images of the to-be-processed image unit and the adjacent image units of the to-be-processed image unit are obtained by using a same affine model; parsing a bitstream to obtain first indication information; determining, in the set of candidate prediction modes, a prediction mode for the to-be-processed image unit according to the first indication information; and determining a predicted image of the to-be-processed image unit according to the prediction mode. The method reduces a bit rate of encoding a prediction mode, thereby improving encoding efficiency.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide an intra-frame prediction method and apparatus, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium. In the method, pixel main directions of reference coded blocks that spatially neighbor a target to-be-coded block are determined. For each of the pixel main directions, a search is performed for an intra-frame prediction direction that is within a set distance value of the respective pixel main direction. Candidate intra-frame prediction directions are formed at least according to the intra-frame prediction directions. Prediction and coding are performed on the target to-be-coded block according to the candidate intra-frame prediction directions. Further, a target intra-frame prediction direction in the candidate intra-frame prediction directions is determined according to results of the prediction and coding on the target to-be-coded block according to the candidate intra-frame prediction directions.
