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 relates to a method which can selectively skip a transform to alleviate problems of deterioration in compression rate and image quality which are mainly generated when applying the motion compensation-transform encoding image compression technique which is mainly used currently, to an image having a drastic spatial change in a pixel value such as a computer image, and can skip the transform by comparing a transform size of a current block and the size of a maximum transform skip block with each other, and provides an efficient signaling technique therefor. The method includes the steps of: comparing the size of a current transform unit (TU) with the size of a maximum transform skip block when determining whether to transform a residual signal corresponding to difference between the current block and a prediction block; and determining whether to perform the transform on the basis of the comparison information on the size of the TU and the size of the maximum transform skip block.
