Abstract: Disclosed herein are a video decoding method and apparatus and a video encoding method and apparatus. Coding decision information of a representative channel of a target block is shared as coding decision information of a target channel of the target block, and decoding of the target block is performed using the coding decision information of the target channel. Since the coding decision information of the representative channel is shared with an additional channel, repeated signaling of identical coding decision information may be prevented. By means of this prevention, the efficiency of encoding and decoding of the target block or the like may be improved.

Abstract: The present invention is a perovskite metal oxide catalyst substituted with metal ions for reducing carbon deposition, a method for producing the same, and a process for performing a methane reforming reaction using this catalyst. The catalyst is produced in which Ni in ionic form is substituted at a portion of the Ti site of SrTiO3, MgTiO3, CaTiO3, or BaTiO3, which is a multi-component metal oxide having a perovskite structure. Then, various methane reforming reactions (steam-methane reforming, dry reforming of methane, catalytic partial oxidation of methane) may be efficiently and economically performed using this catalyst. The nickel-substituted perovskite metal oxide catalyst has a structure in which Ni2+ is substituted in the perovskite lattice structure. Thus, the metal oxide catalyst has advantages in that carbon deposition thereon does not occur, and thus, the catalyst has a high catalytic stability and may be used for a long time.
