Method and apparatus for encoding motion information, and method and apparatus for decoding same

摘要

A method and apparatus for encoding and decoding motion information. The encoding method includes determining whether motion information of spatial prediction units that are spatially collocated to a current prediction unit and motion information of temporal prediction units that are temporally collocated to the current prediction are available; when the number of the motion information of the spatial prediction units and the motion information of the temporal prediction units is less than a predetermined number, generating additional candidate motion information by using the available motion information of the spatial prediction units and the motion information of the temporal prediction units such that the total number of pieces of candidate motion information is the predetermined number; and decoding motion information of the current prediction unit by using the ‘n’ pieces of motion information.

1. An apparatus configured to decode an image, the apparatus comprising:
an entropy decoder which obtains a prediction mode of a current block, from a bitstream; a generating unit which, when the prediction mode of the current block is inter-prediction, obtains a spatial motion vector predictor candidate of the current block by using a motion vector of an available spatial prediction unit spatially related to the current block, obtains a temporal motion vector predictor candidate of the current block by using a motion vector of an available temporal prediction unit temporally related to the current block and when a number of spatial motion vector predictor candidates and temporal motion vector predictor candidates is smaller than a predetermined number n, where n is an integer equal to two or greater, adds a zero vector to be a motion vector predictor candidate so that a number of motion vector predictor candidates is to be the predetermined number n; and a motion information decoder which obtains information indicating a motion vector predictor among the motion vector predictor candidates from the bitstream, and obtains a motion vector predictor of the current block based on the information.
