Abstract

An image encoding/decoding method and apparatus are provided. An image decoding method performed by an image decoding apparatus may include determining a prediction mode of a current block, generating a prediction block of the current block based on inter prediction mode information, based on the prediction mode of the current block being an inter prediction mode, generating a residual block of the current block based on a transform block of the current block, and reconstructing the current block based on the prediction block and the residual block of the current bloc.

Claims (36)

1. An image decoding apparatus, comprising:

a memory; and

at least one processor connected to the memory, the at least one processor configured to:

determine a prediction mode of a current block;

generate a prediction block of the current block based on inter prediction mode information, based on the prediction mode of the current block being an inter prediction mode;

generate a residual block of the current block based on a transform block of the current block; and

reconstruct the current block based on the prediction block and the residual block of the current block,

wherein a maximum width and a maximum height of the transform block is separately determined based on a color component of the current block,

wherein, based on the color component of the current block being a chroma component, the maximum width and the maximum height of the transform block are determined based on a maximum size of a luma transform block corresponding to the current block and a color format of the current block,

wherein, based on a width of the transform block being greater than the maximum width of the transform block, the width of the transform block is determined as half the width of the transform block, and

wherein, based on a height of the transform block being greater than the maximum height of the transform block, the height of the transform block is determined as half the height of the transform block.

2. An image encoding apparatus, comprising:

a memory; and

at least one processor connected to the memory, the at least one processor configured to:

determine a current block by splitting an image;

generate an inter prediction block of the current block;

generate a residual block of the current block based on the inter prediction block; and

encode inter prediction mode information of the current block,

wherein the residual block is encoded based on a size of a transform block of the current block,

wherein a maximum width and a maximum height of the transform block is separately determined based on a color component of the current block,

wherein, based on the color component of the current block being a chroma component, the maximum width and the maximum height of the transform block are determined based on a maximum size of a luma transform block corresponding to the current block and a color format of the current block,

wherein, based on a width of the transform block being greater than the maximum width of the transform block, the width of the transform block is determined as half the width of the transform block, and

wherein, based on a height of the transform block being greater than the maximum height of the transform block, the height of the transform block is determined as half the height of the transform block.

3. An apparatus for transmitting a bitstream, comprising:

at least one processor configured to generate the bitstream; and

a transmitter configured to transmit the bitstream,

wherein the bitstream is generated by

determining a current block by splitting an image;

generating an inter prediction block of the current block;

generating a residual block of the current block based on the inter prediction block; and

encoding inter prediction mode information of the current block into the bitstream,

wherein the residual block is encoded based on a size of a transform block of the current block,

wherein a maximum width and a maximum height of the transform block is separately determined based on a color component of the current block,

wherein, based on the color component of the current block being a chroma component, the maximum width and the maximum height of the transform block are determined based on a maximum size of a luma transform block corresponding to the current block and a color format of the current block,

wherein, based on a width of the transform block being greater than the maximum width of the transform block, the width of the transform block is determined as half the width of the transform block, and

wherein, based on a height of the transform block being greater than the maximum height of the transform block, the height of the transform block is determined as half the height of the transform block.
