Abstract

Disclosed are a method for decoding a video signal and an apparatus therefor. Specifically, a method for decoding an image may include: partitioning a current coding tree block into a plurality of coding blocks so that coding blocks partitioned from the current coding tree block are included in a current picture when the current coding tree block is out of a boundary of the current picture; parsing a first syntax element indicating whether a current coding block is partitioned into a plurality of subblocks when the current coding block satisfies a predetermined condition; and determining a split mode of the current coding block based on the syntax element.

Claims (30)

1. An apparatus for decoding an image, comprising:

a memory storing data for the image; and

a processor coupled with the memory,

wherein the processor is configured to:

partition a current coding tree block into a plurality of coding blocks based on the current coding tree block being out of a boundary of a current picture;

parse a first syntax element including information whether a current coding block is partitioned into a plurality of subblocks based on the current coding block satisfying a predetermined condition, wherein the current coding block is partitioned into the plurality of subblocks when a value of the first syntax element is 1 and the current coding block is not partitioned when the value of the first syntax element is 0;

parse a second syntax element including information whether the current coding block is partitioned by using a quad-tree structure based on the first syntax element including information that the current coding block is partitioned;

parse at least one of a third syntax element including information whether the current coding block is partitioned by using a binary-tree structure or whether the current coding block is partitioned by using a ternary-tree structure and a fourth syntax element including information about a split direction of the current coding block, based on the second syntax element including information that the current coding block is not partitioned by using the quad-tree structure; and

determine a split mode of the current coding block based on at least one of the first syntax element, the second syntax element, the third syntax element, and the fourth syntax element.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to partition the current coding tree block into the plurality of coding blocks by using the binary-tree structure or the ternary-tree structure until reaching a valid region in the current coding tree block, and

wherein the valid region represents a region which is located within the boundary of the current picture in the current coding tree block.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to parse a fifth syntax element including information whether quad-tree splitting is allowed based on the current coding tree block being out of the boundary of the current picture, and

wherein the processor is configured to partition the current coding tree block into the plurality of coding blocks by using the binary-tree structure or the ternary-tree structure, based on the fifth syntax element including information that the quad-tree splitting is not allowed.

4. The apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the fifth syntax element is signaled through a Sequence Parameter Set, a Picture Parameter Set, a Tile Group Header, or a header of a Network Abstract Layer unit.

5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to partition the current coding tree block into the plurality of coding blocks by using the quad-tree structure when a height or width of the current coding tree block is greater than a maximum transform size of 64.

6. An apparatus for encoding an image, comprising:

a memory storing data for the image; and

a processor coupled with the memory,

wherein the processor is configured to:

partition a current coding tree block into a plurality of coding blocks, based on the current coding tree block being out of a boundary of a current picture;

generate a first syntax element including information whether a current coding block is partitioned into a plurality of subblocks based on the current coding block satisfying a predetermined condition, wherein the current coding block is partitioned into the plurality of subblocks when a value of the first syntax element is 1 and the current coding block is not partitioned when the value of the first syntax element is 0;

generate a second syntax element including information whether the current coding block is partitioned by using a quad-tree structure based on the first syntax element including information that the current coding block is partitioned;

generate at least one of a third syntax element including information whether the current coding block is partitioned by using a binary-tree structure or whether the current coding block is partitioned by using a ternary-tree structure and a fourth syntax element including information about a split direction of the current coding block, based on the second syntax element including information that the current coding block is not partitioned by using the quad-tree structure; and

determine a split mode of the current coding block based on at least one of the first syntax element, the second syntax element, the third syntax element, and the fourth syntax element.

7. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the processor is configured to partition the current coding tree block into the plurality of coding blocks by using the binary-tree structure or the ternary-tree structure until reaching a valid region in the current coding tree block, and

wherein the valid region represents a region which is located within the boundary of the current picture in the current coding tree block.

8. The apparatus of claim 6 , the processor is further configured to generate a fifth syntax element including information whether quad-tree splitting is allowed based on the current coding tree block being out of the boundary of the current picture, and

wherein the processor is configured to partition the current coding tree block into the plurality of coding blocks by using the binary-tree structure or the ternary-tree structure, based on the fifth syntax element including information that the quad-tree splitting is not allowed.

9. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the fifth syntax element is inserted into a Sequence Parameter Set, a Picture Parameter Set, a Tile Group Header, or a header of a Network Abstract Layer unit.

10. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the processor is configured to partition the current coding tree block into the plurality of coding blocks by using the quad-tree structure when a height or width of the current coding tree block is greater than a maximum transform size of 64.
