Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for conducting interlayer motion prediction in encoding or decoding of video signal. The present method identifies types of pictures on a base layer and a current layer or types of macro blocks included in the pictures, forms a block on a virtual layer by copying motion information of a macro block on the base layer if type of a picture on the current layer or a macro block included therein is identified to field and type of a picture on the base layer or a macro block included therein is identified to progressive, and uses the copied motion information of the block on the virtual layer in interlayer motion prediction for a macro block of the picture on the current layer.
Claims3
A method for decoding a video signal, the method comprising:
- deriving position information of a virtual macroblock corresponding to a frame macroblock of an enhanced layer;
- deriving position information of a corresponding macroblock in a base layer based on the position information of the virtual macroblock, the corresponding macroblock being a field macroblock in a MacroBlock Adaptive Frame Field frame (MBAFF frame) and the MBAFF frame being a frame including macroblocks adaptively decoded as one of a frame macroblock and a field macroblock;
- obtaining motion information of the corresponding macroblock based on the position information of the corresponding macroblock;
- predicting motion information of the frame macroblock of the enhanced layer by using the motion information of the corresponding macroblock, the motion information including a motion vector;
- and
- decoding the frame macroblock of the enhanced layer by using the predicted motion information,
- wherein the predicting step includes multiplying a vertical component of the motion vector of the corresponding macroblock by two.
