Abstract

The present invention variably adjusts the maximum splitting information of a conversion unit according to the type of prediction unit and the splitting information on a coding unit and selects the optimal splitting information on the conversion unit. The present invention determines the maximum splitting information on the conversion unit of a depth block by using the maximum splitting information on the conversion unit for texture data. The present invention may lower complexity without a loss in efficiency by variably adjusting the maximum splitting information on the conversion unit in consideration of the characteristics of the depth data. The present invention may lower complexity by determining the maximum splitting information on the conversion unit of the depth data by using similar characteristics between the texture data and the depth data.
