Abstract

A method performed by an apparatus of decoding a video in the unit of blocks, includes: decoding information on a block size from a bitstream; determining a maximum block size to be used for decoding an encoded image, based on the information on the block size; and reconstructing an image by decoding the encoded image using the determined maximum block size, wherein the information on the block size includes a first information on a minimum block size and a second information on a difference between the minimum block size and the maximum block size.
