Method and apparatus for encoding/decoding motion vector
Provided are methods and apparatuses for encoding and decoding a motion vector including a method of decoding that includes obtaining a current coding unit by hierarchically split from a maximum coding unit according to a current depth, obtaining a prediction mode information of a current coding unit from bitstream, determining motion vector predictor candidates from among motion vectors of adjacent coding unit adjacent to the current coding unit, and determining a motion vector predictor of the current coding unit from among the motion vector predictor candidates based on prediction mode information of the current coding unit, wherein the adjacent coding unit comprise a first block outside the current coding unit located on a lower-left side of the current coding unit.
1. A method of decoding an image, the method comprising:
obtaining a current coding unit hierarchically split from a maximum coding unit according to a current depth;
obtaining a prediction mode information of a current prediction unit in the current coding unit from bitstream;
when a prediction mode of the current prediction unit is inter-prediction mode, determining motion vector predictor candidates from among motion vectors of neighboring prediction units adjacent to the current prediction unit; and
determining a motion vector predictor of the current prediction unit from among the motion vector predictor candidates,
wherein the neighboring prediction unit comprises a first block directly to the left side of a leftmost block among blocks located directly to a bottom side of the current prediction unit.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the motion vector predictor candidates further comprise a motion vector of a co-located prediction unit at a position in a reference picture co-located with a position of the current prediction unit in a current picture.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the motion vector of the co-located prediction unit is scaled based on a temporal distance between the reference picture and the current picture.
