Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a method and apparatus for improving the encoding efficiency by adaptively changing the resolution of the motion vector in the inter prediction encoding and inter prediction decoding of a video. The apparatus includes: a predicted motion vector calculator for calculating a predicted motion vector of a current block to be encoded using motion vectors of one or more surrounding blocks; and a skip mode encoder for encoding a result of performing a prediction of the current block and information indicating that the current block is a skip block when the predicted motion vector satisfies a skip condition, wherein at least one motion vector among the motion vectors of the surrounding blocks and the motion vector of the current block has a resolution different from resolutions of the other motion vectors.
