Video encoding/decoding method and apparatus
Disclosed are a video encoding/decoding method and apparatus including a plurality of views. The video decoding method including the plurality of views comprises the steps of: inducing basic combination motion candidates for a current Prediction Unit (PU) to configure a combination motion candidate list; inducing expanded combination motion candidates for the current PU when the current PU corresponds to a depth information map or a dependent view; and adding the expanded combination motion candidates to the combination motion candidate list.
