Abstract

The intra prediction method according to the present invention comprises the steps of: deriving an intra prediction mode of a current block; deriving neighboring reference samples of the current block; and generating a prediction sample of the current block on the basis of linear interpolation of a first neighboring reference sample positioned in the prediction direction of the intra prediction mode, and a second neighboring reference sample positioned in the opposite direction of the prediction direction, among the neighboring reference samples of the current block, wherein the neighboring reference samples include left neighboring reference samples, left upper neighboring reference samples, upper neighboring reference samples, right neighboring reference samples, right lower neighboring reference samples, and lower neighboring reference samples of the current block. The present invention can improve intra prediction performance, and thereby reduce the amount of data required for residual information and increase the overall coding efficiency.
