Abstract

The present invention provides an image encoding method and an image decoding method. The image encoding method of the present invention comprises: a first dividing step of dividing a current image into a plurality of blocks; and a second dividing step of dividing, into a plurality of sub blocks, a block, which is to be divided and includes a boundary of the current image, among the plurality of blocks, wherein the second dividing step is recursively performed by setting a sub block including the boundary of the current images as the block to be divided, until the sub block including the boundary of the current image does not exist among the sub blocks.

Claims (41)

1. A video decoding method comprising:

determining a partition type of an upper block including a current block;

deriving a reference candidate list for the current block based on the partition type of the upper block;

deriving prediction information of the current block based on the reference candidate list; and

generating a prediction block of the current block based on the prediction information,

wherein the reference candidate list includes at least one candidate block or prediction information of the at least one candidate block, and

wherein, in case that the upper block of the current block includes a neighboring block adjacent to the current block,

the reference candidate list does not include the neighboring block of the current block, as a candidate block, and

the reference candidate list includes one or more blocks adjacent to the neighboring block of the current block but not to the current block, as candidate blocks.

2. The video decoding method of claim 1 ,

wherein, in case that the neighboring block is included in the upper block, a reference candidate list for the neighboring block includes the same candidate block as the at least one candidate block included in the reference candidate list for the current block.

3. The video decoding method of claim 2 ,

wherein a candidate block being referenced for predicting the current block is different from a candidate block being referenced for predicting the neighboring block.

4. The video decoding method of claim 1 , further comprising:

reconstructing the current block based on the prediction block and a residual block of the current block, the residual block being generated by performing inverse transform on a transform block of the current block,

wherein a method for the inverse transformation is determined based on at least one of a size, type, and prediction mode of the current block.

5. A video encoding method comprising:

determining a partition type of an upper block including a current block;

deriving a reference candidate list for the current block based on the partition type of the upper block;

generating a prediction block of the current block based on the reference candidate list; and

encoding prediction information of the current block based on the prediction block,

wherein the reference candidate list includes at least one candidate block or prediction information of the at least one candidate block, and

wherein, in case that the upper block of the current block includes a neighboring block adjacent to the current block,

the reference candidate list does not include the neighboring block of the current block, as a candidate block, and

the reference candidate list includes one or more blocks adjacent to the neighboring block of the current block but not to the current block, as candidate blocks.

6. The video encoding method of claim 5 ,

wherein, in case that the neighboring block is included in the upper block, a reference candidate list for the neighboring block includes the same candidate block as the at least one candidate block included in the reference candidate list for the current block.

7. The video encoding method of claim 6 ,

wherein a candidate block being referenced for predicting the current block is different from a candidate block being referenced for predicting the neighboring block.

8. The video encoding method of claim 5 , further comprising:

reconstructing the current block based on the prediction block and a residual block of the current block, the residual block being generated by performing inverse transform on a transform block of the current block,

wherein a method for the inverse transformation is determined based on at least one of a size, type, and prediction mode of the current block.

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

determining a partition type of an upper block including a current block;

deriving a reference candidate list for the current block based on the partition type of the upper block;

generating a prediction block of the current block based on the reference candidate list; and

encoding prediction information of the current block based on the prediction block into a bitstream,

wherein the reference candidate list includes at least one candidate block or prediction information of the at least one candidate block, and

wherein, in case that the upper block of the current block includes a neighboring block adjacent to the current block,

the reference candidate list does not include the neighboring block of the current block, as a candidate block, and

the reference candidate list includes one or more blocks adjacent to the neighboring block of the current block but not to the current block, as candidate blocks.
