Abstract

Methods and apparatuses for encoding and decoding an intra prediction mode of a prediction unit of a chrominance component based on an intra prediction mode of a prediction unit of a luminance component are provided. When an intra prediction mode of a prediction unit of a luminance component is the same as an intra prediction mode in an intra prediction mode candidate group of a prediction unit of a chrominance component, reconstructing the intra prediction mode candidate group of the prediction unit of the chrominance component by excluding or replacing an intra prediction mode of the prediction unit of the chrominance component which is same as an intra prediction mode of the prediction unit of the luminance component from the intra prediction mode candidate group, and encoding the intra prediction mode of the prediction unit of the chrominance component by using the reconstructed intra prediction mode candidate group.
