Patent ID: 7586985

Claim:
A method for decoding a video signal in a video decoder apparatus, comprising: obtaining, with the video decoder apparatus, offset information between at least one boundary pixel of a reference frame and at least one boundary pixel of a current frame from a sequence header or a slice header, the reference frame being upsampled from a frame of the base layer; obtaining, with the video decoder apparatus, position information of a reference block in the reference frame based on the offset information; obtaining, with the video decoder apparatus, a reference pixel value based on the position information of the reference block; and decoding, with the video decoder apparatus, a current block in the current frame of an enhanced layer using the reference pixel value, the offset information including, left offset information indicating a position offset between at least one left side pixel of the reference frame and at least one left side pixel of the current frame, top offset information indicating a position offset between at least one top side pixel of the reference frame and at least one top side pixel of the current frame, right offset information indicating a position offset between at least one right side pixel of the reference frame and at least one right side pixel of the current frame, and bottom offset information indicating a position offset between at least one bottom side pixel of the reference frame and at least one bottom side pixel of the current frame.
