Abstract

A method and a device for encoding/decoding an image are disclosed. The method for decoding an image comprises the steps of: decoding information on a quantization matrix; and restoring the quantization matrix on the basis of the information on the quantization matrix, wherein the information on the quantization matrix includes information indicating a DC value of the quantization matrix and/or information indicating differential values of quantization matrix coefficients.

1. A video encoding method, comprising:

determining a quantization matrix; and

encoding information on the quantization matrix,

wherein the information on the quantization matrix includes at least one of information indicating a prediction method of the quantization matrix, information on a reference quantization matrix identifier of the quantization matrix, information representing a DC value of the quantization matrix, and information representing a difference value between quantization matrix coefficients;

deriving an array of arranged quantization matrix coefficients by up-right diagonally scanning the quantization matrix coefficients in the quantization matrix; and

generating information representing a difference value between the arranged quantization matrix coefficients.

2. The video encoding method of claim 1 , wherein when a size of a transform coefficient block in which the quantization matrix is used is 16×16 or 32×32, the quantization matrix is reconstructed by using the information representing the DC value of the quantization matrix.

when the quantization matrix is used in a transform coefficient block having one size of 8×8, 16×16, and 32×32, an up-right diagonal scan of 8×8 size is performed on the quantization matrix coefficients.

6. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a bitstream that is generated by a video encoding method, the method comprising:

determining a quantization matrix; and

encoding information on the quantization matrix,
