Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Disclosed is a method and apparatus of encoding a video, the method including: splitting video data into a maximum coding unit; encoding the video data of the maximum coding unit based on deeper coding units of hierarchical structures in which a coding unit of an upper depth is split as a depth deepens, according to at least one split region of the maximum coding unit, and determining a coding depth at which an encoding result is to be output, including inter prediction using partitions obtained by splitting the coding unit according to arbitrary ratios; and outputting a bitstream including the encoded video data corresponding to a coding depth for the at least one split region according to maximum coding units and information regarding the coding depth and encoding modes.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of decoding a video, the method comprising: parsing a bitstream of encoded video data; determining at least one coding unit included in a maximum coding unit by using split information parsed from the bitstream; and determining partitions for performing inter prediction on a coding unit among the at least one coding unit, by using information about a partition type of the coding unit, parsed from the bitstream; performing motion compensation u…
