Abstract: According to an embodiment of the present invention, there is provided an image decoding method including: obtaining an arithmetic-coded symbol stream from an image stream; identifying a symbol segment from the symbol stream according to symbol segment information signaled from an encoding apparatus; selecting an arithmetic decoding process corresponding to the symbol segment; and collectively processing one or more symbols among multiple symbols included in the symbol segment, in association with the selected arithmetic decoding process.

Abstract: An image decoding method comprises the steps of: obtaining a current coding tree unit (CTU) of a first size configuring a current picture; determining whether to implicitly divide the current coding tree unit; dividing the current coding tree unit into one or more coding units (CUs) based on the determination; obtaining, from a bitstream, division information for a current coding unit among the one or more coding units; and dividing and decoding the current coding unit..

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for processing a video, comprising: a step in which a video central processing unit communicates with a host, receives a bitstream, parses header information, and generates a plurality of tasks for parallel processing; a step in which free scan information is generated by a free scan of a video bitstream inputted from the host according to the control of the video central processing unit; and a step in which a plurality of video processing units process the plurality of tasks on the basis of the free scan information and the parsed header information by receiving the control of the video central processing unit.

Abstract: Provided is an apparatus for processing a video. The apparatus for processing a video includes an image receiving module that is configured to receive encoded data, a filtering module that is configured to filter an image frame reconstructed from the encoded image, a block dividing module to divide the filtered image frame into a predetermined block dividing unit, a compression module to compress each of the plurality of blocks, to package the compressed plurality of blocks into a predetermined packaging unit, and to generate lookup table information corresponding to each of the packaged block, a frame buffer memory that is configured to record the packaged data, and a decompression module that is configured to obtain and decompress at least one of the packaged blocks by using the lookup table information.
