Abstract:
1. A method for decoding a video signal in a video decoder apparatus, comprising: obtaining, with the decoding apparatus, offset information between at least one boundary pixel of a reference image and at least one boundary pixel of a current image from a sequence header or a slice header, the reference image being up-sampled from an image of the base layer; determining, with the decoding apparatus, whether a corresponding block referred by a current block is positioned in an up-sampled image of the base layer, based on the offset information; obtaining, with the decoding apparatus, a pixel value of the corresponding block based on the determining step; and decoding, with the decoding apparatus, the current block using the pixel value of the corresponding block, the offset information including, left offset information indicating a position offset between at least one left side pixel of the reference image and at least one left side pixel of the current image, top offset information indicating a position offset between at least one top side pixel of the reference image and at least one top side pixel of the current image, right offset information indicating a position offset between at least one right side pixel of the reference image and at least one right side pixel of the current image, and bottom offset information indicating a position offset between at least one bottom side pixel of the reference image and at least one bottom side pixel of the current image.
