METHOD FOR ENCODING/DECODING HIGH-RESOLUTION IMAGE AND DEVICE FOR PERFORMING SAME

摘要

A method for encoding/decoding high-resolution image and a device for performing the same set the size of an extended macro-block as the size of a prediction unit to be encoded, according to a temporal frequency feature or a spacial frequency feature found therebetween at least one picture to be encoded, perform motion prediction and motion compensation using the set prediction unit size unit, and perform the conversion thereof. Also, a macro-block having 32×32 pixel or 64×64 pixel size is divided into at least one partition based on an edge, and encoding is performed on each of the divided partitions afterwards. Therefore, encoding efficiency for high definition (HD) or higher resolution images is enhanced.

1. An image decoding apparatus comprising:
an entropy decoder that decodes a received bit stream to generate header information; a motion compensation unit that generates a prediction block by performing motion compensation on the prediction unit based on information of the prediction unit obtained from a header information; an inverse quantization unit that inverse quantizes the received bit stream; an inverse transform unit that obtains a residual value by performing inverse transforming on inverse quantized data; and an adder that adds the residual value to the prediction block to reconstruct an image, wherein the prediction unit corresponds to a leaf coding unit when a coding unit is split and reaches a maximum permissible depth, and the size of the prediction unit is restricted to 64×64 pixels.
