ENCODING AND DECODING METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DIVIDING MULTI-IMAGE BLOCK

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention provide an encoding method with multiple image block division manners, including: determining a division manner and a division direction of an image block; dividing the image block according to the division manner and the division direction, to obtain image subblocks sequentially arranged horizontally or vertically; determining whether the image subblocks need subdivision, and if subdivision is not needed, predicting the encoding object in the frame according to the image subblocks, to obtain residual data; performing transformation, quantization, and entropy encoding for the residual data so as to obtain coded residual data; and writing into a bitstream the division manner of the image block, the division direction of the image block, an identifier indicating whether the image subblocks need subdivision, and the coded residual data. By applying the encoding method and the decoding method provided in the embodiments of the present invention, better prediction accuracy can be achieved when the image block presents a small change of pixel value in the horizontal or vertical direction.
