Abstract
A video encoding method includes classifying a plurality of view images into a basic image and additional images, performing pruning on at least one of the plurality of view images on the basis of the classification result, generating an atlas on the basis of the pruning result, and encoding the atlas and metadata for the atlas. Here, the metadata includes a first flag indicating whether depth estimation needs to be performed on a decoder side.
