Abstract

The present invention relates to a video signal processing method and device and is capable of acquiring differential depth index information on the basis of a predetermined binarization method, acquiring a differential depth value by using the differential depth index information, acquiring the depth value of a current depth block by using the differential depth value, and decoding the current depth block by using the depth value of the current depth block. The present invention can increase encoding efficiency.

Claims (126)

1. A method for processing video signals by a video decoder, comprising:

acquiring differential depth index information by transforming binary codes into the differential depth index information using a lookup table, wherein the look up table defines each of the differential depth index information corresponding to a respective binary code;

acquiring a differential depth value using the differential depth index information;

acquiring a depth value of a current depth block using the differential depth value; and

decoding the current depth block using the depth value of the current depth block,

wherein a part of binary codes in the lookup table are comprised just a prefix part, and a rest of binary codes in the lookup table are comprised the prefix part and a suffix part,

wherein a number of the binary codes which are comprised just the prefix part is larger than a number of the binary codes which are comprised the prefix part and the suffix part, and

wherein the prefix part is binarized using a unary binarization and the suffix part is binarized using fixed length binarization.

2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising acquiring a predicted depth value of the current depth block, wherein the depth value of the current depth block is acquired further using the predicted depth value.

3. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising acquiring maximum differential depth index information, wherein the predetermined binarization method uses the maximum differential depth index information.
