Abstract
Provided is an image decoding method including determining a plurality of coding units in a chroma image by hierarchically splitting the chroma image, based on a split shape mode of blocks in the chroma image of a current image, and decoding the current image, based on the plurality of coding units in the chroma image. In this regard, the determining of the plurality of coding units in the chroma image may include, when a size or an area of a chroma block from among a plurality of chroma blocks to be generated by splitting a current chroma block in the chroma image is equal to or smaller than a preset size or a preset area, not allowing splitting of the current chroma block based on a split shape mode of the current chroma block, and determining at least one coding unit included in the current chroma block.
