Abstract
A Method and apparatus for encoding and decoding a multi-view image are provided. The method of encoding a multi-view image includes determining whether each of pictures included in multi-view image sequences is a reference picture referred to by other pictures included in the multi-view image sequences for inter-view prediction, and encoding the pictures using at least one of inter-view prediction and temporal prediction based on the determination result, thereby efficiently encoding and decoding the multi-view image at high speed.
Claims1
An apparatus for predictive-decoding a multi-view image, the apparatus comprising:
- a receiving unit that receives a bitstream comprising information indicating whether a picture in one view image sequence included in multi-view image sequences is a reference picture referred to by others in another view image included in the multi-view image sequences for inter-view prediction and data about the multi-view image sequences;
- an extraction unit that extracts the information and the data about the multi-view image sequences from the bitstream;
- and
- a decoding unit that decodes the data about the multi-view image sequences based on the extracted information,
- wherein the information is included in a network abstraction layer (NAL) unit header, and
- wherein a picture which is reference picture to by others in another view image sequence for inter-view prediction is included in a reference picture list and a picture which is not a reference picture referred to by others in another view image seguence for inter-view prediction is not included in the reference picture list.
