Abstract:
Provided are a video encoding method and apparatus having temporal scalability, and a video decoding method and apparatus having temporal scalability. The video encoding method includes: splitting pictures included in a picture sequence into temporal sub-layers; classifying, as a first temporal layer access picture or a second temporal layer access picture, a temporal layer access picture based on whether a picture encoded after the temporal layer access picture is capable of referring to a picture encoded before the temporal layer access picture; and adding, to transmission unit data including the temporal layer access picture, type syntax information for identifying the first temporal layer access picture and the second temporal layer access picture, wherein the picture encoded after the temporal layer access picture belongs to a same temporal sub-layer as the temporal layer access picture or belongs to an upper temporal sub-layer to the temporal layer access picture.
Abstract:
Provided are multiview video inter-layer encoding and decoding based on coding units of a tree structure. A video encoding method includes operations of encoding a base layer image that is one of a base view texture image and a base view depth image of a base view image, based on coding units of a tree structure that are among coding units obtained by hierarchically splitting a maximum coding unit of an image, determining an inter-layer encoding mode for performing inter-layer encoding on an additional view image by referring to the base layer image based on the coding units of the tree structure, and referring to an additional layer image including the additional view image, based on the inter-layer encoding mode.
