Abstract:
1. A method of decoding an image, the method comprising: determining first coding units of a hierarchical structure, based on information about whether to divide a coding unit parsed from a received bitstream of an encoded video; determining whether the determined first coding units of the hierarchical structure comprise a region that deviates from a boundary of a current image; if the determined first coding units of the hierarchical structure are determined to not comprise the region that deviates from the boundary of the current image based on the determining whether the determined first coding units comprise the region, parsing and decoding data regarding the determined first coding units of the hierarchical structure; and if the determined first coding units of the hierarchical structure are determined to comprise the region that deviates from the boundary of the current image based on the determining whether the determined first coding units comprise the region, determining at least one second coding unit generated by dividing a first coding unit, of the determined first coding units, that comprises the region that deviates from the boundary of the current image.
