Method and apparatus for encoding multi-view images, and method and apparatus for decoding multi-view images

A method of in-loop-filtering for a multi-view image, the method comprising:

• referring to a block corresponding to a reference view for a specific block of a current view;
• and
• setting a deblocking intensity of the specific block of the current view by performing scaling according to a distance between the specific block of the current view and the block corresponding to the reference view.

A method of an intermediate depth view synthesis for a multi-view image having a texture view and a depth view for each of a first view, a second view, and a third view by a decoder, the method comprising:

• performing an intermediate view synthesis for a the texture view of the first view and the texture view of the third view which are received from an encoder;
• and
• obtaining the texture view of the second view from the texture view of the first view and the texture view of the third view through the intermediate view synthesis.
