A video encoding apparatus includes: an inter prediction unit to determine a motion parameter of a current block and generate a predicted block of the current block, by performing a motion estimation on the current block; and an optimal mode determining unit to set a prediction mode of the current block as a SKIP mode when (i) the motion parameter of the current block is identical to a motion parameter of a candidate block among a plurality of candidate blocks and (ii) all-zero coefficients result from a transform and a quantization performed on a residual data block representing the difference between the current block and the predicted block.

Method and apparatus for encoding and decoding video using skip mode

A video decoding method performed by a video decoding apparatus includes: generating a quantized frequency transform block by decoding a bitstream; reconstructing a residual block by inversely quantizing and inversely transforming the quantized frequency transform block; generating a prediction block corresponding to a current block; reconstructing the current block by adding the generated prediction block to the reconstructed residual block; and performing a deblocking filtering with respect to a boundary between subblocks within a frame including the reconstructed current block, by allowing numbers of filtered pixels in a first block of the subblocks and a second block of the subblocks that engage in the filtering to be different depending on one or more predetermined criterion.

Encoding/decoding apparatus and method using flexible deblocking filtering

A video decoding method includes decoding a bitstream including generating a quantized frequency transform block from the bitstream, reconstructing a residual block by inversely quantizing and inversely transforming the quantized frequency transform block, generating a prediction block by predicting a current block to be reconstructed, reconstructing the current block by adding the generated prediction block to the reconstructed residual block and performing a deblocking filtering with respect to a boundary between subblocks within a frame including the reconstructed current block, by allowing numbers of filtered pixels in a first block of the subblocks and a second block of the subblocks that engage in the filtering to be different depending on one or more predetermined criterion.
