Multiview video encoding and decoding method

A multi-view image encoding method, the method comprising:

• generating, from a plurality of captured view images constituting a multi-view image, three-dimensional geometry information indicating a three-dimensional space of the multi-view image;
• generating a texture map of the plurality of captured view images constituting the multi-view image;
• obtaining, from the texture map of the plurality of captured view images, view independent component information indicating a view independent component, which is uniformly applied to every view, and view dependent component information indicating a view dependent component, which is differently applied according to views;
• and
• generating a bitstream comprising the three-dimensional geometry information, the view independent component information and the view dependent component information.

A computer-readable recording medium for storing a bitstream comprising coded data of a multi-view image that is encoded according to a multi-view image encoding method,

• wherein the multi-view image encoding method comprises:
• generating, from a plurality of captured view images constituting a multi-view image, three-dimensional geometry information indicating a three-dimensional space of the multi-view image;
• generating a texture map of the plurality of captured view images constituting the multi-view image;
• obtaining, from the texture map of the plurality of captured view images, view independent component information indicating a view independent component, which is uniformly applied to every view, and view dependent component information indicating a view dependent component, which is differently applied according to views;
• and
• generating a bitstream comprising the three-dimensional geometry information, the view independent component information and the view dependent component information.
