METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ENCODING VIDEO BY PERFORMING IN-LOOP FILTERING BASED ON TREE-STRUCTURED DATA UNIT, AND METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DECODING VIDEO BY PERFORMING THE SAME

摘要

An apparatus and method of encoding and an apparatus and method of decoding a video by performing in-loop filtering based on coding units are provided. The encoding method includes: splitting a picture into a maximum coding unit; separately determining coding units for outputting encoding results according to a coded depth for deeper coding units that are hierarchically structured according to depths; and determining a filtering unit for performing in-loop filtering so as to minimize an error between the maximum coding unit and an original picture, based on the coding units, and performing in-loop filtering based on the filtering unit.
