Abstract

A video decoding method according to an embodiment of the present invention may include determining a type of a filter to be applied to a first-layer picture which a second-layer picture as a decoding target refers to; determining a filtering target of the first-layer picture to which the filter is applied; filtering the filtering target based on the type of the filter; and adding the filtered first-layer picture to a second-layer reference picture list. Accordingly, the video decoding method and an apparatus using the same may reduce a prediction error in an upper layer and enhance encoding efficiency.

Claims (19)

1. A video decoding method supporting a plurality of layers, the method performed by a video decoding apparatus and comprising:

generating a reference picture list of a current slice in a current layer including an inter-layer reference picture in a reference layer of the current layer;

generating a prediction block of a current block in the current slice by referencing at least one among a plurality of reference pictures included in the reference picture list; and

generating a reconstructed block of the current block in the current slice using the prediction block,

wherein the inter-layer reference picture is marked as only a long-term reference picture and added to the reference picture list for inter-layer prediction,

wherein motion information used for the inter prediction is derived by using motion information of at least one of temporal and spatial neighboring blocks of the current block, and

wherein the temporal neighboring block is an external block located outside of a block present at a position spatially corresponding to the current block, within a reference picture included in the reference picture list.

2. A video encoding method supporting a plurality of layers, the method performed by a video encoding apparatus and comprising:

generating a reference picture list of a current slice in a current layer including an inter-layer reference picture in a reference layer of the current layer; and

encoding information of the reference picture list,

wherein the inter-layer reference picture is marked as only a long-term reference picture and added to the reference picture list for inter-layer prediction,

wherein motion information used for the inter prediction is encoded by using motion information of at least one of temporal and spatial neighboring blocks of the current block, and

wherein the temporal neighboring block is an external block located outside of a block present at a position spatially corresponding to the current block, within a reference picture included in the reference picture list.

3. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a bitstream generated by a video encoding method, the video encoding method comprising:

generating a reference picture list of a current slice in a current layer including an inter-layer reference picture in a reference layer of the current layer; and

encoding information of the reference picture list,

wherein the inter-layer reference picture is marked as only a long-term reference picture and added to the reference picture list for inter-layer prediction,

wherein motion information used for the inter prediction is encoded by using motion information of at least one of temporal and spatial neighboring blocks of the current block, and

wherein the temporal neighboring block is an external block located outside of a block present at a position spatially corresponding to the current block, within a reference picture included in the reference picture list.
