Abstract

The present invention relates to 3D video coding device and method. A decoding method, according to the present invention, provides a 3D video decoding method. A decoding method comprises the steps of: obtaining a disparity value on the basis of a reference view and a predetermined value; deriving movement information of a current block in a depth picture on the basis of the disparity value; and generating a prediction sample of the current block on the basis of the movement information, wherein the reference view is a view of a reference picture in a reference picture list. According to the present invention, even when a base view cannot be accessed, a disparity vector can be derived on the basis of an available reference view index in a decoded picture buffer (DPB), and coding efficiency can be enhanced.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for decoding a 3D video by a video decoding apparatus, the method comprising:
obtaining, by the video decoding apparatus, a disparity value based on an index representing a reference view and a predetermined value;
deriving, by the video decoding apparatus, motion information of a block in an inter-view reference picture in the reference view based on the disparity value, wherein the block in the inter-view reference picture in the reference view is a block related with a current block in a depth picture in a current view;
deriving, by the video decoding apparatus, motion information of the current block in the depth picture in the current view based on the motion information of the block related with the current block; and
generating, by the video decoding apparatus, a prediction sample of the current block based on the motion information of the current block,
wherein the index representing the reference view is adaptively set equal to a view index of the inter-view reference picture in a reference picture list,
wherein the reference view is the same as a view to which the inter-view reference picture comprising the block related with the current block belongs, and
wherein the predetermined value is “1<<(bit depth−1)”.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the bit depth is a bit depth set for a luma sample.

3. A method for encoding a 3D video by a video encoding apparatus, the method comprising:
obtaining, by the video encoding apparatus, a disparity value based on an index representing a reference view and a predetermined value;
deriving, by the video encoding apparatus, motion information of a block in an inter-view reference picture in the reference view based on the disparity value, wherein the block in the inter-view reference picture in the reference view is a block related with a current block in a depth picture in a current view;
deriving, by the video encoding apparatus, motion information of the current block in the depth picture in the current view based on the motion information of the block related with the current block;
generating, by the video encoding apparatus, a prediction sample of the current block based on the motion information of the current block; and
entropy encoding, by the video encoding apparatus, video information including residual signal of the current block and prediction mode information indicating a prediction mode of the current block,
wherein the index representing the reference view is adaptively set equal to a view index of the inter-view reference picture in a reference picture list,
wherein the reference view is the same as a view to which the inter-view reference picture comprising the block related with the current block belongs, and
wherein the predetermined value is “1<<(bit depth−1)”.

4. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing video information, the video information, when executed, causing a video decoding apparatus to perform the following steps:
obtaining a disparity value based on an index representing a reference view and a predetermined value;
deriving motion information of a block in an inter-view reference picture in the reference view based on the disparity value, wherein the block in the inter-view reference picture in the reference view is a block related with a current block in a depth picture in a current view;
deriving motion information of the current block in the depth picture in the current view based on the motion information of the block related with the current block; and
generating a prediction sample of the current block based on the motion information of the current block,
wherein the index representing the reference view is adaptively set equal to a view index of the inter-view reference picture in a reference picture list,
wherein the reference view is the same as a view to which the inter-view reference picture comprising the block related with the current block belongs, and
wherein the predetermined value is “1<<(bit depth−1)”.
