Method and apparatus for encoding video by using deblocking filtering, and method and apparatus for decoding video by using deblocking filtering

An apparatus for decoding video by using deblocking filtering, the apparatus comprising:

• a parser receiving a bitstream including data of a picture, information about a size of a maximum coding unit, and split information, splitting the picture into a plurality of maximum coding units using the information about the size of a maximum coding unit, hierarchically splitting the maximum coding unit into one or more coding units based on the spilt information, determining one or more prediction units in the coding unit using partition type information, wherein the partition type information indicates one of a symmetric type and an asymmetric type, determining one or more transform units in the coding unit using size information of a transform unit, wherein the transform unit is a rectangular with a horizontal size and a vertical size indicated by the size information;
• a predictor performing prediction on the prediction unit in the coding unit;
• an inverse transformer performing inverse-transformation on the transform unit in the coding unit, in order to generate a reconstructed coding unit;
• a deblocking unit configured to:
• when a boundary included in the reconstructed coding unit corresponds to at least one of a boundary of the prediction unit and a boundary of the transform unit, determine a boundary strength for the boundary based on prediction information, wherein the prediction information include at least one of prediction mode, a motion vector and a reference index,
• determine filtering method including at least one of a number of filter-taps and a number of pixels to be filtered, based on at least one of the boundary strength and neighboring pixels adjacent to the boundary, and
• perform deblocking-filtering on the neighboring pixels according to the filtering method, in order to generate a filtered coding unit including the deblocking-filtered pixels,
• wherein the prediction mode includes inter-prediction mode and intra prediction mode.
