Abstract:
The present invention relates to image encoding and decoding of a structure including at least one layer, quality, space, and view and, more particularly, to a method for predicting an upper layer signal using one or more reference layers when encoding and decoding the upper layer. The method can improve encoding efficiency by separating a space quality reference layer list, which comprises space and quality layers referred within the same view as the relevant layer, from a view reference layer list, which comprises space and quality layers the same as the relevant layer; and by predicting between layers by taking into consideration the characteristics of each layer, when encoding and decoding an encoding and decoding image of the upper layer.

Abstract:
Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for encoding/decoding an image. The image decoding method supporting a plurality of layers according to the present invention includes the steps of: receiving a bit stream including interlayer switching time point information representing whether it is possible to switch from a first layer to a second layer; and decoding the bit stream based on the interlayer switching time point information. The interlayer switching time point information includes information about a layer switching picture (LSP) of an interlayer switchable time point, and the LSP information is induced from a network abstraction layer (NAL) unit type parsed from the bit stream.

Abstract:
PURPOSE: An image decoding method and an apparatus thereof are provided to decode information about a reference picture set which is described in a slice header depending on a type of a slice, thereby removing unnecessary reference picture set information about an intra-slice. CONSTITUTION: A decoding apparatus parses header information about a current slice (S310). The decoding apparatus decodes the current slice without constructing a reference picture set about the current slice depending on a type of the current slice based on the parsed header information (S340). If the current slice is an intra-slice, the decoding apparatus does not constructs a reference picture set about the current slice.

Abstract:
PURPOSE: A motion information prediction method between improved layers for scalable video coding and a device thereof are provided to obtain motion information of a reference layer from various sample positions, thereby increasing motion information prediction efficiency corresponding to a difference of an image size and a difference of an encoding structure. CONSTITUTION: An encoder obtains a sample position of a reference layer corresponding to a reference sample position of a current encoding object prediction unit of an improved layer. The encoder uses at least one of motion information of a prediction unit and surrounding prediction units for motion information encoding of the current encoding object prediction unit.

PURPOSE: A scalable video coding and decoding method and a device using the same are provided to supply various video services on a time, a space, or an image quality side according to a use purpose or various demands. CONSTITUTION: An encoding device and a decoding device determine whether inter layer prediction is applied to an enhanced layer(S1610). If the inter layer prediction is applied, the encoding device and the decoding device perform the prediction of a current layer of the enhanced layer based on reference information generated from a decoded reference picture of a reference layer(S1630). The encoding device and the decoding device restore or encode the current picture of the enhanced layer(S1640).

PURPOSE: A template matching method and apparatus thereof are provided to scale a space where is used for a template by encoding and decoding images. CONSTITUTION: A current block is selected from a current frame(S610). A first area is selected(S612). A base block is selected(S614). A second area is created by the up-sampling of the selected base block(S616). A template is constituted by combining the first area and the second area(S618). A motion vector is calculated in order to minimize a difference between the template and a part of the frame(S620). A prediction block is determined(S630). The current block is decoded(S640).
