Disclosed are methods, apparatuses, and systems for encoding and decoding an image. The present invention provides an intra prediction unit receives an input image, removes high frequency ingredients by low pass filtering an encoded luma pixel value in the input image during intra prediction, and generates a prediction block by predicting a chroma pixel value by using a low pass filter (LPF) LM chroma mode for applying an LM chroma mode, which is an extended chroma mode technique for generating a prediction block by predicting the chroma pixel value by applying a correlation between color planes to the luma pixel value having removed therefrom the high frequency ingredients.

Method, device and system for encoding and decoding image

Disclosed are methods, apparatuses, and systems for encoding and decoding an image. The present invention provides an intra prediction unit that receives an input image, calculates a correlation between a Luma area block and Chroma area block in the input image in intra prediction, removes high frequency ingredients by low-pass filtering an encoded luma pixel based on the calculated correlation, and generates a prediction block by applying an LM chroma mode, which is an extended chroma mode technique, to the luma pixel removed therefrom the high frequency ingredients.

Method, apparatus, and system for encoding and decoding image

Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for intra prediction mode encoding that may increase compression efficiency of intra prediction mode encoding. The intra prediction mode encoding method may include detecting a similarity of a prediction direction of a neighbor block with respect to a current block based on a position of the neighbor block and an intra prediction direction of the neighbor block with respect to the current block, and determining a candidate prediction mode of the current block based on the similarity and the number of candidate intra prediction modes (N). Accordingly, intra encoding performance of an image may be improved by more accurately and efficiently compressing information about an intra prediction mode of a current block by considering local statistics, which is different from a related art in which only global statistics are considered.
