摘要

Abstract The present in invention relates to video prediction and video encoding and decoding accompanied with the video prediction. Disclosed is a method for predicting a video, wherein: reference information indicative of at least one reference image for prediction of images is determined; a first reference list and a second reference list, which include the reference information and a reference sequence of reference images, are determined; and images indicated by the first reference list and the second reference list are referred to by the same reference sequence such that restored images are generated, if the reference information indicates images only, which are for unilateral prediction on a time basis.
