Abstract

A method for decoding a video according to the present invention may comprise: determining whether to divide a current block with quad tree partitioning, determining whether to divide the current block with binary tree partitioning when the current block is not divided with the quad tree partitioning, determining a binary tree partition type for the current block when it is determined to divide the current block with the binary tree partitioning, and dividing the current block into two partitions according to the determined binary tree partition type.

Claims (25)

1. A method of decoding a video, the method comprising:

determining whether a coding block is split into two partitions or not; and

determining, based on a first flag signaled via a bitstream, whether the coding block is split symmetrically or asymmetrically when it is determined to split the coding block,

wherein when it is determined to split the coding block asymmetrically, the coding block is split into a first partition having a ¼ size of the coding block and a second partition having a ¾ size of the coding block, and

wherein locations of the first partition and the second partition are determined based on a second flag signaled via the bitstream,

wherein when the coding block is split in a horizontal direction, the second flag is used to specify whether the first partition or the second partition is located at an upper side or a bottom side, and

wherein when the coding block is split in a vertical direction, the second flag is used to specify whether the first partition or the second partition is located at a left side or a right side,

wherein whether it is allowed to split the coding block asymmetrically is determined based on a size of the coding block.

2. A method of encoding a video, the method comprising:

determining whether a coding block is split into two partitions or not; and

determining whether the coding block is split symmetrically or asymmetrically when it is determined to split the coding block, a first flag specifying whether the coding block is split symmetrically or asymmetrically being encoded into a bitstream,

wherein when it is determined to split the coding block asymmetrically, the coding block is split into a first partition having a ¼ size of the coding block and a second partition having a ¾ size of the coding block, and

wherein a second flag used to determine locations of the first partition and the second partition is encoded into the bitstream,

wherein when the coding block is split in a horizontal direction, the second flag is used for specifying whether the first partition or the second partition is located at an upper side or a bottom side,

wherein when the coding block is split in a vertical direction, the second flag is sued to specify whether the first partition or the second partition is located at a left side or a right side, and

wherein whether it is allowed to split the coding block asymmetrically is determined based on a size of the coding block.

3. A non-transitory computer-readable medium for storing data associated with a video signal, comprising:

a data stream stored in the non-transitory computer-readable medium, the data stream being encoded by an encoding method which comprising:

determining whether a coding block is split into two partitions or not; and

determining whether the coding block is split symmetrically or asymmetrically when it is determined to split the coding block, a first flag specifying whether the coding block is split symmetrically or asymmetrically being encoded into a bitstream,

wherein when it is determined to split the coding block asymmetrically, the coding block is split into a first partition having a ¼ size of the coding block and a second partition having a ¾ size of the coding block, and

wherein a second flag used to determine locations of the first partition and the second partition is encoded into the bitstream,

wherein when the coding block is split in a horizontal direction, the second flag is used for specifying whether the first partition or the second partition is located at an upper side or a bottom side,

wherein when the coding block is split in a vertical direction, the second flag is sued to specify whether the first partition or the second partition is located at a left side or a right side, and

wherein whether it is allowed to split the coding block asymmetrically is determined based on a size of the coding block.
