METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ESTIMATION OF MOTION VECTOR AND DISPARITY VECTOR

摘要

PURPOSE: An image processing method predicting a motion vector and a disparity vector, and a device thereof are provided to predict a disparity vector of the current block by using a disparity vector of a neighboring block. CONSTITUTION: A disparity vector extraction part (201) extracts a disparity vector of a neighboring block for the current block of a color image desired to be coded. A disparity vector prediction part (202) predicts a disparity vector of the current block by using the disparity vector of the neighboring block. If the neighboring block does not have a disparity vector, the disparity vector extraction part extracts a disparity vector of the neighboring block by using a corresponding block of a depth image corresponding to the current block. The depth image corresponding to the current block has the same converted size as the size of the color image or has a size different from the size of the color image.
