METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ENCODING/DECODING VIDEO USING SPLIT LAYER

摘要

The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for encoding/decoding a video using a split layer. The image encoding/decoding method of the present invention comprises: generating encoded video data by encoding a current block that is split into a plurality of sub blocks; generating encoded split information data by encoding the split information of the current block; generating a bit stream that contains the encoded video data and the encoded split information data; and recovering a video from the generated bit stream. According to the present invention, when encoding a high resolution video with variable-size blocks, various block shapes can be used for the encoding. Also, efficient encoding and decoding of the split information on the blocks can improve the compression efficiency.
