Abstract

In one embodiment, the method for decoding a video signal using inter layer prediction includes obtaining a residual signal of a corresponding block in a base layer from a base layer bitstream, scaling the residual signal of the corresponding block in the base layer, obtaining a residual signal of a current block in an enhanced layer from an enhanced layer bitstream, obtaining a prediction pixel value of the current block in the enhanced layer based on an intra prediction mode of the corresponding block in the base layer and a pixel value of a neighboring block in the enhanced layer, and reconstructing the current block by using the prediction pixel value of the current block, the residual signal of the current block.

Claims (11)

1. A method for decoding a video signal performed with a decoding apparatus, comprising:

obtaining, with the decoding apparatus, a residual signal of a corresponding block in a base layer from a base layer bitstream;

scaling, with the decoding apparatus, the residual signal of the corresponding block in the base layer;

obtaining, with the decoding apparatus, a residual signal of a current block in an enhanced layer from an enhanced layer bitstream;

obtaining, with the decoding apparatus, a prediction pixel value of the current block in the enhanced layer based on an intra prediction mode of the corresponding block in the base layer and a pixel value of a neighboring block in the enhanced layer, the neighboring block being adjacent to the current block; and

reconstructing, with the decoding apparatus, the current block by using the prediction pixel value of the current block, the residual signal of the current block, and the scaled residual signal of the corresponding block.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the current block is reconstructed by adding the residual signal of the current block and the scaled residual signal of the corresponding block to the prediction pixel value of the current block.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein a spatial resolution of the base layer is the same as a spatial resolution of the enhanced layer, and an image quality of the base layer is different from an image quality of the enhanced layer.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the image quality of the base layer is lower than the image quality of the enhanced layer,

wherein the image quality is based on a quantization step size.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the residual signal of the corresponding block corresponds to a transform coefficient level.
