Method and apparatus for coding and decoding multi-view video images

A method for decoding multi-view video images, comprising:

• obtaining a view dependency between inter-view reference images for an anchor image;
• and
• decoding a viewpoint image in motion skip mode according to the view dependency and dependency information sent by a coder, wherein the dependency information is about a view dependency between reference images for a non-anchor image.

An apparatus for coding multi-view video images, comprising:

• a first reference image obtaining module, configured to obtain a view dependency between inter-view reference images for a viewpoint image;
• and
• a multi-view video image coding module, configured to encode the viewpoint image in motion skip mode according to the view dependency and a first inter-view motion dependency of a first non-anchor image, wherein the first non-anchor image has no inter-view reference image.
