Abstract

A method for decoding an image according to the present invention comprises the steps of: determining whether a second inverse transform is applied to a coding block including a plurality of sub-blocks; and applying the second inverse transform to at least one of the plurality of sub-blocks when it is determined that the second inverse transform is applied to the coding block. In this case, whether the second inverse transform is applied to the coding block may be determined by comparing the size of one of the plurality of sub-blocks with a threshold value.

Claims (28)

1. A device comprising circuitry configured to perform a method of decoding a video, the method comprising:

determining whether a second inverse transform is applied to a coding block including a plurality of sub-blocks; and

applying the second inverse transform to at least one of the plurality of sub-blocks when it is determined to apply the second inverse transform to the coding block,

wherein whether the second inverse transform is applied to the coding block or not is determined by comparing a size of one of the plurality of sub-blocks with a threshold value, and

wherein when the size of one of the plurality of sub-blocks is smaller than the threshold value, it is determined not to apply the second inverse transform to the coding block.

2. The device of claim 1 , wherein whether the second inverse transform is applied to the coding block or not is determined based on index information signaled in a bitstream,

wherein when the size of one of the plurality of sub-blocks is smaller than the threshold value, decoding the index information is omitted, and

wherein when decoding the index information is omitted, a value of the index information is inferred to indicate that the second inverse transform is not applied.

3. The device of claim 1 , wherein a size of a region, to which the second inverse transform is applied, in the sub-block is determined based on the size of the sub-block.

4. The device of claim 3 , wherein when the sub-block has a size of N×4 or 4×N (N is a natural number greater than 4), the region is set as a 4×4 size.

5. The device of claim 3 , wherein a transform core for a first inverse transform in a vertical direction and a transform core for a first inverse transform a horizontal direction of the sub-block are set as DCT2.

6. A device comprising circuitry configured to perform a method of encoding a video, the method comprising:

determining whether a second transform is applied to a coding block including a plurality of sub-blocks; and

applying the second transform to at least one of the plurality of sub-blocks when it is determined to apply the second transform to the coding block,

wherein whether the second transform is applied to the coding block or not is determined by comparing a size of one of the plurality of sub-blocks with a threshold value, and

wherein when the size of one of the plurality of sub-blocks is smaller than the threshold value, it is determined not to apply the second transform to the coding block.

7. The device of claim 6 , wherein when the size of one of the plurality of sub-blocks is smaller than the threshold value, encoding index information representing whether the second transform is applied to the coding block or not is omitted.

8. The device of claim 6 , wherein a size of a region, to which the second transform is applied, in the sub-block is determined based on the size of the sub-block.

9. The device of claim 8 , wherein when the sub-block has a size of N×4 or 4×N (N is a natural number greater than 4), the region is set as a 4×4 size.

10. The device of claim 8 , wherein a transform core for a first transform in a vertical direction and a transform core for a first transform in a horizontal direction of the sub-block are set as DCT2.

11. A device for transmitting compressed video data, the device comprising:

a processor configured to obtain the compressed video data; and

a transmitting unit to transmit the compressed video data,

wherein the compressed video data is generated by an encoding method comprising:

determining whether a second transform is applied to a coding block including a plurality of sub-blocks; and

applying the second transform to at least one of the plurality of sub-blocks when it is determined to apply the second transform to the coding block,

wherein whether the second transform is applied to the coding block or not is determined by comparing a size of one of the plurality of sub-blocks with a threshold value, and

wherein when the size of one of the plurality of sub-blocks is smaller than the threshold value, it is determined not to apply the second transform to the coding block.
