A method and apparatus for processing a video signal using inter-viewpoint prediction are disclosed. The video signal processing method includes acquiring a type of a current block, acquiring a depth inter-view prediction flag according to the current block type, acquiring color information of a reference block corresponding to the current block when the current lock is encoded using depth inter-view prediction according to the depth inter-view prediction flag, and predicting color information of the current block using the color information of the reference block. The video signal processing method performs inter-viewpoint prediction using depth information, such that a motion vector of a macroblock can be induced from a decoder using such depth information. Therefore, a motion vector of the macroblock is not separately coded, resulting in reduction of the amount of transmission bits. In addition, the video signal processing method uses a flag that indicates whether to perform inter-viewpoint prediction using depth information, such that it can effectively indicate whether inter-viewpoint prediction or prediction between depth viewpoints is performed. |
