A video encoding method according to an embodiment of the present invention includes generating header information that includes information about resolutions of motion vectors of respective blocks, determined based on motion prediction for a unit image. Here, the header information includes flag information indicating whether resolutions of all motion vectors included in the unit image are integer-pixel resolutions. Further, a video decoding method according to another embodiment of the present invention includes extracting information about resolutions of motion vectors of each unit image from header information included in a target bitstream to be decoded; and a decoding unit for decoding the unit image based on the resolution information. Here, the header information includes flag information indicating whether resolutions of all motion vectors included in the unit image are integer-pixel resolutions.

A video encoding/decoding device according to the present invention may determine an intra prediction mode of a current block on the basis of a most probable mode (MPM) of the current block or an intra prediction mode of a neighboring block, determine a reference region for intra prediction of the current block, and perform intra prediction on the current block by using the intra prediction mode and the reference region.

Video encoding/decoding method and device

According to the present invention, an adaptive scheme is applied to an image encoding apparatus that includes an inter-predictor, an intra-predictor, a transformer, a quantizer, an inverse quantizer, and an inverse transformer, wherein input images are classified into two or more different categories, and two or more modules from among the inter-predictor, the intra-predictor, the transformer, the quantizer, and the inverse quantizer are implemented to perform respective operations in different schemes according to the category to which an input image belongs. Thus, the invention has the advantage of efficiently encoding an image without the loss of important information as compared to a conventional image encoding apparatus which adopts a packaged scheme.

Image encoding and decoding apparatus, and image encoding and decoding method

This document discloses a method and apparatus for image encoding/decoding which support multiple layers. The method for image decoding comprises analyzing a video parameter set (VPS) extension for layer dependency on a current layer, analyzing slices for layer dependency on a current slice by determining whether not to apply layer dependency to the current slice or to apply new layer dependency to the current slice, the new layer dependency determining within a range of layer dependency analyzed from the VPS extension, and constructing a reference picture list about the current layer based on at least one of layer dependency analyzed from the VPS extension and layer dependency analyzed from the slice.

Method and apparatus for image encoding/decoding

The present invention is related to a method for moving the position of a base view from an arbitrary GOP (Group Of Pictures) start position to implement an efficient encoding structure in multi-view video encoding. The existing multi-view video encoding method exhibits low encoding efficiency when correlation between the base view and a dependent view is low, since the base view is assumed to be fixed. Moreover, in case the view in a live broadcasting program desired by a producer changes from the base view to another, the user has to consume more bit streams and decoder complexity than those consumed when decoding is performed with respect to the base view. Therefore, to alleviate the drawbacks of the existing multi-view video encoding method, the present invention provides a method for designing syntax elements by which the base view can be moved, thereby supporting an efficient encoding structure.
