METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ENCODING MOTION INFORMATION AND METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DECODING SAME

摘要

Provided are methods and apparatus for encoding and decoding motion information. The method of encoding motion information includes: obtaining a motion information candidate by using motion information of prediction units that are temporally or spatially related to a current prediction unit; adding, when the number of motion information included in the motion information candidate is smaller than a predetermined number n, alternative motion information to the motion information candidate so that the number of motion information included in the motion information candidate reaches the predetermined number n; determining motion information with respect to the current prediction unit from among the n motion information candidates; and encoding index information indicating the determined motion information as motion information of the current prediction unit.
