Abstract

In this specification, a image decoding method is disclosed. The image decoding method of the present invention comprises, decoding block partition information of a current block included in a current picture, determining a partitioning scheme for the current block according to the block partition information and partitioning the current block using the partitioning scheme determined, wherein the partitioning scheme is determined according to whether the current block includes a boundary of the current picture.

Claims (24)

1. An image decoding method comprising:

decoding block partition information of a current block included in a current picture;

determining a partitioning scheme for the current block according to the block partition information; and

partitioning the current block using the partitioning scheme,

wherein the partitioning scheme is determined according to whether the current block includes a boundary of the current picture,

wherein the partitioning scheme is any one scheme selected from among quad tree partitioning, horizontal binary tree partitioning, vertical binary tree partitioning, horizontal ternary tree partitioning, and vertical ternary tree partitioning, and

wherein when the current block includes the right boundary of the current picture and a height of the current block exceeds a predetermined value, the partitioning scheme is determined to be any one partitioning scheme except for the vertical binary tree partitioning.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein when the current block includes a bottom boundary of the current picture and a width of the current block exceeds a predefined value, the partitioning scheme is determined to be any one of partitioning schemes except for the horizontal binary tree partitioning.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein when the current block includes a bottom boundary of the current picture, the partitioning scheme is determined to be any one of partitioning schemes except for the vertical binary tree partitioning.

4. An image encoding method comprising:

determining a partitioning scheme of a current block included in a current picture;

partitioning the current block using the partitioning scheme; and

encoding block partition information of the current block indicating the partitioning scheme of the current block,

wherein the partitioning scheme is determined according to whether the current block includes a boundary of the current picture,

wherein the partitioning scheme is any one scheme selected from among quad tree partitioning, horizontal binary tree partitioning, vertical binary tree partitioning, horizontal ternary tree partitioning, and vertical ternary tree partitioning, and

wherein when the current block includes the right boundary of the current picture and a height of the current block exceeds a predetermined value, the partitioning scheme is determined to be any one partitioning scheme except for the vertical binary tree partitioning.

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein when the current block includes a bottom boundary of the current picture and a width of the current block exceeds a predefined value, the partitioning scheme is determined to be any one of partitioning schemes except for the horizontal binary tree partitioning.

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

determining a partitioning scheme of a current block included in a current picture;

partitioning the current block using a partitioning scheme that is determined; and

encoding block partition information of the current block,

wherein the partitioning scheme is determined according to whether the current block includes a boundary of the current picture,

wherein the partitioning scheme is any one scheme selected from among quad tree partitioning, horizontal binary tree partitioning, vertical binary tree partitioning, horizontal ternary tree partitioning, and vertical ternary tree partitioning, and

wherein when the current block includes the right boundary of the current picture and a height of the current block exceeds a predetermined value, the partitioning scheme is determined to be any one partitioning scheme except for the vertical binary tree partitioning.
