Abstract

There is provided a method and apparatus of encoding/decoding an image. The method comprises decoding information on block partitioning of a current block included in a current picture from a bitstream; determining a partitioning method of the current block on the basis of the information; and partitioning the current block by using the determined partitioning method, wherein the partitioning method is determined on the basis of whether or not the current block includes a predetermined boundary.

Claims (36)

1. A method of decoding an image, the method comprising:

decoding information on block partitioning of a current block included in a current picture from a bitstream;

determining a partitioning method of the current block on the basis of the information; and

partitioning the current block by using the determined partitioning method,

wherein the partitioning method is determined on the basis of whether or not the current block includes a predetermined boundary,

wherein, when the current block includes a right boundary of the current picture and a height of the current block is greater than a size of a largest transform block, the partitioning method is determined as partitioning other than vertical binary-tree partitioning.

2. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the information on block partitioning includes at least one of information on a size of the current block, information on a depth of the current block, and information on whether or not to perform partitioning.

3. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the partitioning method includes at least one of quad-tree partitioning, horizontal binary-tree partitioning, vertical binary-tree partitioning, horizontal ternary-tree partitioning, and vertical ternary-tree partitioning.

4. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the predetermined boundary includes at least one of a right boundary, a lower boundary, a left boundary, and an upper boundary of at least one of a picture, a sub-picture, a slice, a tile, and a brick to which the current block belongs.

5. The method of decoding an image of claim 1 ,

wherein the size of the largest transform block is 64.

6. A method of encoding an image, the method comprising:

determining a partitioning method of a current block included in a current picture;

partitioning the current block by using the determined partitioning method; and

encoding information on block partitioning of the partitioning method,

wherein the partitioning method is determined on the basis of whether or not the current block includes a predetermined boundary,

wherein, when the current block includes a right boundary of the current picture and a height of the current block is greater than a size of a largest transform block, the partitioning method is determined as partitioning other than vertical binary-tree partitioning.

7. The method of claim 6 ,

wherein the information on block partitioning includes at least one of information on a size of the current block, information on a depth of the current block, and information on whether or not to perform partitioning.

8. The method of claim 6 ,

wherein the partitioning method includes at least one of quad-tree partitioning, horizontal binary-tree partitioning, vertical binary-tree partitioning, horizontal ternary-tree partitioning, and vertical ternary-tree partitioning.

9. The method of claim 6 ,

wherein the predetermined boundary includes at least one of a right boundary, a lower boundary, a left boundary, and an upper boundary of at least one of a picture, a sub-picture, a slice, a tile, and a brick to which the current block belongs.

10. The method of encoding an image of claim 6 ,

wherein the size of the largest transform block is 64.

11. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a bitstream generated by an encoding method, the method comprising:

determining a partitioning method of a current block included in a current picture;

partitioning the current block by using the determined partitioning method; and

encoding information on block partitioning of the partitioning method,

wherein the partitioning method is determined on the basis of whether or not the current block includes a predetermined boundary,

wherein when the current block includes a right boundary of the current picture, and a height of the current block is greater than a size of a largest transform block, the partitioning method is determined as partitioning other than vertical binary-tree partitioning.

12. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 11 ,

wherein the size of the largest transform block is 64.
