MOTION VECTOR ENCODING/DECODING METHOD AND DEVICE AND IMAGE ENCODING/DECODING METHOD AND DEVICE USING SAME

摘要

The present invention relates to a motion vector encoding/decoding method and device and an image encoding/decoding method and device using the same. The invention provides the motion vector encoding method comprising the steps of: selecting a predictive motion vector candidate set which includes one or more predictive motion vector candidates for a block; determining a search range for the predictive motion vector candidate set; selecting one predictive motion vector candidate of the one or more predictive motion vector candidates as a predictive motion vector candidate in accordance with each search point, according to the image decoding device and a first determination standard which is previously appointed for each search point within the search range; determining a predictive motion vector, a differential motion vector, and a current motion vector by selecting one predictive motion vector candidate of the predictive motion vector candidates in accordance with each search point, according to the image decoding device and a second determination standard which is not previously appointed; and generating and encoding the differential motion vector as motion information. According to the present invention, motion vectors are encoded by using more accurate predictive motion vectors, and there is no need to add information for identifying the predictive motion vectors to the encoded data, thereby improving the motion vector encoding efficiency.
