Abstract

Embodiments include a picture reconstruction method and apparatus for a video picture. The picture reconstruction method includes: obtaining a prediction mode of a current coding unit, and/or obtaining a prediction partition mode of the current coding unit, where the current coding unit includes a luma coding block and a chroma coding block, and the prediction partition mode is a mode of splitting the current coding unit into prediction blocks or prediction units; obtaining a transform block of the current coding unit based on the prediction partition mode and/or the prediction mode; and generating a reconstructed picture block of the current coding unit based on the transform block. According to the method in the embodiments, video coding efficiency can be improved.
