Abstract

According to one embodiment of the present invention, a video information encoding method comprises: a step of predicting information of the current coding unit to generate prediction information; and a step of determining whether the information of the current coding unit coincides with the prediction information. If the information of the current coding unit coincides with the prediction information, a flag indicating that the information of the current coding unit coincides with the prediction information is encoded and transmitted. If the information of the current coding unit does not coincide with the prediction information, a flag indicating that the information of the current coding unit does not coincide with the prediction information is encoded and transmitted and the information of the current coding unit is encoded and transmitted. In the step of generating prediction information, the prediction information may be generated using the information on the coding unit adjacent to the current coding unit.

Claims (36)

1. A method for decoding video information, the method comprising:

decoding a prediction flag indicating whether information of a current coding unit is the same as prediction information derived from information of a reference block corresponding to the current coding unit;

deriving the information of the current coding unit based on the decoded prediction flag; and

performing inter-prediction of the current coding unit using the derived information of the current coding unit,

wherein the information of the current coding unit includes information on a motion vector of the current coding unit,

wherein the prediction information includes prediction information on a motion vector,

wherein, when the prediction flag indicates the information of the current coding unit is the same as prediction information derived from information of the reference block, a first reference index and a second reference index is determined to be a predetermined constant value based on whether two lists of reference frames are corresponded to the current coding unit,

wherein the current coding unit is decoded based on a first frame and a second frame, wherein the first frame is determined by the first reference index and first list of reference frames,

wherein the second frame is determined by the second reference index and second list of reference frames, and

wherein the predetermined constant value is set before decoding the video information.

2. The method of claim 1 , the method further comprising generating an occurrence probability for entropy decoding of a split flag of the current coding unit, and performing the entropy decoding of the split flag of the current coding unit according to the generated occurrence probability,

wherein the generation of the occurrence probability relating to the split flag of the current coding unit is dependent on a split depth value of a neighboring coding unit,

wherein the neighboring coding unit is determined to be at least one of coding units located at a top side or a left side of the current coding unit,

wherein the split flag indicates whether a coding unit is split and the split depth value indicates a depth value of a coding unit according to the split flag.

3. A method for encoding video information, the method comprising:

deriving prediction information from information of a reference block corresponding to a current coding unit;

determining whether information of the current coding unit is the same as the prediction information; and

encoding a prediction flag of the current coding unit based on the result of determination;

wherein the information of the current coding unit includes information on a motion vector of the current coding unit,

wherein the prediction information includes prediction information on a motion vector,

wherein, when the prediction flag indicates the information of the current coding unit is the same as prediction information derived from information of the reference block, a first reference index and a second reference index is determined to be a predetermined constant value based on whether two lists of reference frames are corresponded to the current coding unit,

wherein the current coding unit is encoded based on a first frame and a second frame,

wherein the first frame is determined by the first reference index and first list of reference frames,

wherein the second frame is determined by the second reference index and second list of reference frames, and

wherein the predetermined constant value is set before encoding the video information.

4. A non-transitory recording medium storing a bitstream generated by a method for encoding video information, the method comprising:

deriving prediction information from information of a reference block corresponding to a current coding unit;

determining whether information of the current coding unit is the same as the prediction information; and

encoding a prediction flag of the current coding unit based on the result of determination;

wherein the information of the current coding unit includes information on a motion vector of the current coding unit,

wherein the prediction information includes prediction information on a motion vector,

wherein, when the prediction flag indicates the information of the current coding unit is the same as prediction information derived from information of the reference block, a first reference index and a second reference index is determined to be a predetermined constant value based on whether two lists of reference frames are corresponded to the current coding unit,

wherein the current coding unit is encoded based on a first frame and a second frame,

wherein the first frame is determined by the first reference index and first list of reference frames,

wherein the second frame is determined by the second reference index and second list of reference frames, and

wherein the predetermined constant value is set before encoding the video information.
