METHOD FOR DECODING VIDEO BY USING BLOCK MERGING

摘要

A method of encoding a video by using data unit merging, the method including: determining an encoding mode indicating a data unit for encoding of a picture and an encoding method including prediction encoding that is performed for each data unit; determining an occurrence of merging with at least one neighboring data unit based on at least one of a prediction mode and the encoding mode according to the data units; and determining prediction mode information, merging related information, and prediction related information based on the occurrence of merging with the at least one neighboring data unit according to the data units and determining encoding information of the data unit including the prediction mode information, the merging related information, and the prediction related information.
