METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CODING OF INTRA PREDICTION MODE

摘要

A method for chroma intra prediction mode decoding includes decoding a chroma intra prediction mode for a current chroma block according to a codeword set corresponding to a chroma intra prediction mode set, wherein the codeword set comprises at least one codeword with a first length type and at least one codeword with a second length type. If a codeword is one of said at least one codeword with the first length type, the chroma intra prediction mode is decoded as a Luma-based chroma prediction Mode (LM) or a Direct Mode (DM). The method also includes determines the chroma intra prediction mode based on an intra prediction mode of a current luma block if the chroma intra prediction mode is the DM.
