Abstract

A scalable video signal decoding method according to the present invention decodes a corresponding picture of a reference layer corresponding to a current picture of a current layer, generates an inter-layer reference picture by up-sampling the decoded corresponding picture, generates a reference picture list including a temporal reference picture and an inter-layer reference picture, and inter-predicting the current picture on the basis of the generated reference picture list.

Claims (18)

1. A multi-layer video signal decoding method, comprising:

decoding a corresponding picture of a reference layer that corresponds to a current picture of a current layer;

generating an inter-layer reference picture for inter-layer prediction of the current picture using the decoded corresponding picture;

generating a reference picture list including a temporal reference picture and the inter-layer reference picture; and

performing inter-prediction of the current picture based on the reference picture list, wherein:

the temporal reference picture comprises at least one of a first short-term reference picture, a second short-term reference picture and a long-term reference picture,

the inter-layer reference picture comprises at least one of a first inter-layer reference picture and a second inter-layer reference picture,

the first inter-layer reference picture is arranged, in the reference picture list, between the first short-term reference picture, and the second short-term reference picture,

the second inter-layer reference picture is arranged, in the reference picture list, subsequent to the long-term reference picture, and wherein:

the first short-term reference picture means a short-term reference picture having a Picture Order Count (POC) value less than that of the current picture, and the second short-term reference picture means a short-term reference picture having a POC value greater than that of the current picture.

2. The multi-layer video signal decoding method of claim 1 , wherein:

the first short-term reference picture means a short-term reference picture having a Picture Order Count (POC) value less than that of the current picture, and the second short-term reference picture means a short-term reference picture having a POC value greater than that of the current picture.

3. The multi-layer video signal decoding method of claim 2 , wherein:

the first inter-layer reference picture has a view order lower than a view order of the current picture and the second inter-layer reference picture ahs a view order higher than a view order of the current picture, and

the reference picture list is constructed in a sequence of the first short-term reference picture, the first inter-layer reference picture, the second short-term reference picture, the long-term reference picture and the second inter-layer reference picture.

4. The multi-layer video signal decoding method of claim 2 , wherein:

the first inter-layer reference picture has a view order higher than a view order of the current picture and the second inter-layer reference picture has a view order lower than a view order of the current picture, and

the reference picture list is constructed in a sequence of the second short-term reference picture, the first inter-layer reference picture, the first short-term reference picture, the long-term reference picture and the second inter-layer reference picture.
