- the MRL technology can use pixels that are one pixel apart adjacent to the block as reference pixels for prediction. At this time, pixels that have the same distance from the current block are grouped together and called reference lines. The MRL technology performs intra prediction of the current block using pixels located on the selected reference line.
- the video encoding device signals the reference line index intra_luma_ref_idx to the video decoding device to indicate a reference line used when performing intra prediction.
- the reference line indicated by each intra_luma_ref_idx is the same as the example in FIG. 6.

Meanwhile, since MRL cannot be applied to the block located on the first line of the CTU in ECM, prediction is always performed on the block located on the first line of the CTU without parsing information about the reference line using intra_luma_ref_idx 0. Additionally, in ECM, if the block is located other than the first line in the current CTU, the video encoding device does not test whether to use the reference line included in the upper CTU among the reference lines available for MRL.

- the video decoding apparatus first adds intra_luma_ref_idx 0, which is used only twice in neighboring blocks, to the list. Since all other reference lines are used once, the video decoding device can add intra_luma_ref_idx 1, the reference line of block 1, to the list in the following order, considering the block number. Since the number of reference lines for filling the list is satisfied according to this method, the video decoding device does not add reference lines of other neighboring blocks to the MRL candidate list.

The order of use of the two methods can be determined in descending order of the number of reference lines added for each method.
- the video decoding device can first fill the list using method A.
- the more similar the reference lines of blocks considered in each method are the more likely that method may be considered first. For example, if the blocks surrounding the current block used in method A all use different reference lines, and the reference lines of the restored blocks used in method C are listed in the order of most recent restoration, ⁇ 1, 1, 1, 2, 1, 0, 3, 3, .. ⁇ .

Since the order of considering the plurality of filling methods according to this implementation depends on Realization Example 1-2-1, further detailed description is omitted.
- the video decoding device constructs the MRL candidate list of the current block according to the length of the MRL candidate list (that is, the number of reference lines included in the MRL candidate list) determined in advance.

- the video decoding device parses syntax elements in the following order: length of the MRL candidate list, method of filling the MRL candidate list, reference line to be used for prediction, and intra prediction mode.
- a new length can be added to the length lookup table so that mrl_candidate_list_len can indicate a new length that does not exist in the existing length lookup table.
- New lengths can be added both at the block level or at higher levels such as SPS and PPS.
- the added length value can be signaled with mrl_candidate_list_len_register.
- the new length can be added to a predefined position in the length lookup table (i.e., one of the first, second, ..., and last positions of the length lookup table). Or, the new length is mrl_candidate_list_len_register_pos.
- the signaled length can be added to the position in the lookup table.
- the video decoding device infers the length of the MRL candidate list.
- the video decoding device determines the length of the MRL candidate list according to the information of the block (realization example 2-2-1) or sets the length of the MRL candidate list to a preset value (realization Example 2-2-2) You can do it.

- the MRL candidate list used, the length of the used MRL candidate list, etc. can be used as information about the MRL candidate list.
- the length of the MRL candidate list can be determined according to the area of the current block, as shown in Table 9.
- the length of the MRL candidate list depends on the differences in the reference lines of the neighboring blocks (i.e., the number of types of reference lines used by the neighboring blocks). can be decided. For example, as shown in the example of FIG. 15, among neighboring blocks including pixels 1 to 5 adjacent to the current block, blocks 1, 2, and 3 use intra_luma_ref_idx 0 for prediction, and blocks 4 and 5 use intra_luma_ref_idx 0 for prediction. Assume that intra_luma_ref_idx 2 is used for prediction. In the example of FIG. 15, since neighboring blocks use two types of reference lines for prediction, the length of the MRL candidate list of the current block may be determined to be 2.
- the video decoding device generates predictors of the current block using available reference lines and then calculates SADs between the generated predictors. If at least one of the values of SADs, the average value of SADs, the median value of SADs, and the maximum value of SADs is smaller than a preset threshold, the video decoding device may set the length of the MRL candidate list to a small value.

- the video decoding device can parse additional signals.
- the video encoding device can transmit adaptive_mrl_candidate_list_flag to indicate information about the reference line used for prediction of the current block.
- adaptive_mrl_candidate_list_flag As an example, as shown in Table 11, when adaptive_mrl_candidate_list_flag is 0, the video decoding device uses a fixed MRL candidate list, which is an existing technology.
