Abstract
An improved video information coding method for an object boundary block merging/splitting technique which makes it possible to use an object boundary block merging and a merging/separation as a reverse process thereof which are capable of enhancing a coding efficiency by using a space surplus of an intra-video and inter-video which exist in a block or a neighboring block by merging, coding and transmitting the BBM. The method includes the steps of merging a plurality of object boundary objects, judging whether there is an overlapped block signal among the block signals using shape information of the object boundary blocks, and merging the blocks in which no overlapped pixels exist as a result of the judgement.
