Abstract

Disclosed are a method and apparatus for image encoding and image decoding using prediction based on a block type. Whether or not a prediction mode is available for a target block is determined. The determination is performed on the basis of a type of the target block. When it is determined that the prediction mode is unavailable for the target block, signaling associated with the prediction mode is omitted, and determination of another prediction mode is performed. When it is determined that the prediction mode is available for the target block, information indicating whether or not the prediction mode is used for the target block is signaled.
