Abstract

Provided is an interlayer video decoding method. The interlayer video decoding method includes: obtaining brightness compensation information indicating whether a second layer current block performs brightness compensation; determining whether a candidate of the second layer current block is usable as a merge candidate based on whether the brightness compensation information indicates that the brightness compensation is performed and whether the candidate of the second layer current block performs time direction inter prediction; generating a merge candidate list including at least one merge candidate based on a result of the determining; and determining motion information of the second layer current block by using motion information of one of the at least one merge candidate.

First claim

1 . An interlayer video decoding method comprising:
obtaining brightness compensation information indicating whether a second layer current block performs brightness compensation; determining whether a candidate of the second layer current block is usable as a merge candidate based on whether the brightness compensation information indicates that the brightness compensation is performed and whether the candidate of the second layer current block performs time direction inter prediction; generating a merge candidate list including at least one merge candidate based on a result of the determining; and determining motion information of the second layer current block by using motion information of one of the at least one merge candidate.

2 . The interlayer video decoding method of claim 1 , wherein, when the brightness compensation information of the second layer current block indicates that the brightness compensation is performed and the candidate of the second layer current block performs the time direction inter prediction, the merge candidate list is generated excluding the candidate of the second layer current block.

3 . The interlayer video decoding method of claim 1 , wherein the candidate is based on motion information of a corresponding block indicated by a disparity vector of the second layer current block from a location of the second layer current block.

4 . The interlayer video decoding method of claim 1 , wherein the candidate is based on motion information of a right lower block of a corresponding block indicated by a disparity vector of the second layer current block from a location of the second layer current block.

5 . The interlayer video decoding method of claim 1 , wherein, when the brightness compensation information indicates that the brightness compensation is performed, some or all of other candidates having a same motion vector and a same reference index as a motion vector and a reference index from among motion information of the candidate are not included in the merge candidate list.

6 . The interlayer video decoding method of claim 1 , wherein, when the brightness compensation information indicates that the brightness compensation is performed, some or all of other candidates having a same reference index from among motion information of the candidate are not included in the merge candidate list.

7 . The interlayer video decoding method of claim 1 , wherein the candidate is based on motion information of a block corresponding to a disparity vector of the second layer current block from a location of the second layer current block, and
the interlayer video decoding method further comprises, when the brightness compensation information indicates that the brightness compensation is not performed, determining a vertical component of the disparity vector to be 0.

8 . An interlayer video encoding method comprising:
determining whether a second layer current block performs brightness compensation; determining whether a candidate of the second layer current block is usable as a merge candidate based on whether the second layer current block performs the brightness compensation and whether the candidate of the second layer current block performs time direction inter prediction; generating a merge candidate list including at least one merge candidate based on a result of the determining; and determining motion information of the second layer current block by using motion information of one of the at least one merge candidate.

9 . The interlayer video encoding method of claim 8 , wherein, when the second layer current block performs the brightness compensation and the candidate of the second layer current block performs the time direction inter prediction, the merge candidate list is generated excluding the candidate of the second layer current block.

10 . The interlayer video encoding method of claim 8 , wherein the candidate is based on motion information of a corresponding block indicated by a disparity vector of the second layer current block from a location of the second layer current block.

11 . The interlayer video encoding method of claim 8 , wherein the candidate is based on motion information of a right lower block of a corresponding block indicated by a disparity vector of the second layer current block from a location of the second layer current block.

12 . The interlayer video encoding method of claim 8 , wherein, when the second layer current block performs the brightness compensation, some or all of other candidates having a same motion vector and a same reference index as a motion vector and a reference index from among motion information of the candidate are not included in the merge candidate list.

13 . An interlayer video decoding apparatus comprising:
a brightness compensation information obtainer configured to obtain brightness compensation information indicating whether a second layer current block performs brightness compensation; a merge candidate list generator configured to determine whether a candidate of the second layer current block is usable as a merge candidate based on whether the brightness compensation information indicates that the brightness compensation is performed and whether the candidate of the second layer current block performs time direction inter prediction, and generate a merge candidate list including at least one merge candidate based on a result of the determining; and a motion information determiner configured to determine motion information of the second layer current block by using motion information of one of the at least one merge candidate.

14 . A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program, which when executed by a computer, performs the interlayer video decoding method of claim 1 .

15 . A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program, which when executed by a computer, performs the interlayer video encoding method of claim 8 .
