METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ENDCONDING/DECODING PREDICTION PICTURE IN A LAYERED CODING STRUCTURE

摘要

There is provided a method and apparatus for efficiently coding/decoding pictures in a layered coding structure. The method for decoding pictures in a layered coding structure includes determining a block mode of a target block for which a prediction picture is to be generated, from a received block-based bitstream; and generating the prediction picture based on the determined block mode and peripheral block information including picture type information for a peripheral block of the target block.
