Abstract
A method and apparatus for encoding an image, and a method and apparatus for decoding an image are provided. In the image encoding method, an input image may be encoded hierarchically based on a unified image compression format, irrespective of whether the input image corresponds to a two-dimensional (2D) image, a stereo image, or a three-dimensional (3D) image. An encoded bit stream generated through the encoding may be transmitted to the image decoding apparatus.
