Abstract:
Provided are a method and apparatus for encoding a video and a method and apparatus for decoding a video. The encoding method includes: splitting a picture of the video into one or more maximum coding units; encoding the picture based on coding units according to depths which are obtained based on a partition type determined according to the depths of the coding units according to depths, determining coding units according to coded depths with respect to each of the coding units according to depths, and thus determining coding units having a tree structure; and outputting data that is encoded based on the partition type and the coding units having the tree structure, information about the coded depths and an encoding mode, and coding unit structure information indicating a size and a variable depth of a coding unit.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of decoding a video, the method comprising:\n receiving a bitstream with respect to an encoded video; extracting, from the received bitstream, coding unit structure information indicating a size of a coding unit that is a data unit for decoding of a picture of the encoded video, a variable depth of the coding unit, information about a coded depth and information about an encoding mode indicating one among prediction types including skip mode, inter mode and intra mode; determining a current coding unit based on the coding unit structure information, the variable depth of the coding unit and the information about the coded depth; determining a prediction type of the current coding unit based on the information about an encoding mode; performing prediction on at least one prediction unit of the current coding unit according to the prediction type to obtain prediction samples of the current coding unit; and determining reconstructed samples of the current coding unit by using the prediction samples, wherein the determining the current coding unit comprises:\n when the information about the coded depth indicates a split for a current depth, splitting the current coding unit of the current depth into coding units of a lower depth, independently from neighboring coding units, and \n wherein the performing the prediction on the at least one prediction unit of the current coding unit comprises:\n when the information about the coded depth indicates a non-split of a current depth, determining a prediction unit from the current coding unit; \n when the prediction type is the skip mode, determining the prediction unit having a same size as the current coding unit; \n when the prediction type is one of the intra mode and the inter mode, extracting partition type information indicating a partition of the current coding unit from the bitstream; \n when the prediction type is the intra mode, determining the prediction unit including at least one square block, from the current coding unit, based on the partition type information; and \n when the prediction type is the inter mode, determining the prediction unit including one of a partition, symmetric partitions and asymmetric partitions, from the current coding unit, based on the partition type information, \n wherein the symmetric partitions are obtained by symmetrically splitting at least one of a height and a width of the current coding unit, wherein the asymmetric partitions are obtained by asymmetrically splitting one of the height and the width of the current coding unit,
