The present invention selectively applies one of VLC tables stored in a memory for encoding a coded block pattern of a macroblock according to the number of blocks having an object within the macroblock, the number of blocks obtained using shape information, thereby reducing the amount of data transmitted and increasing coding efficiency. The present invention also selectively applies one of VLD tables stored in a memory for decoding a coded block pattern of a macroblock according to the number of blocks having an object within the macroblock, the number of blocks obtained using shape information.

Apparatus and method of encoding/decoding a coded block pattern

A method for determining a coding type and a coding mode for object shape coding is disclosed. A coding mode is determined according to the characteristic of an object and shape, and the shape is coded by varying a coding method according to the determined coding mode.
