  • Publication number: 20240137568
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method and apparatus for encoding/decoding a video. According to an embodiment, provided is a method of setting a level for each of one or more regions, including decoding a definition syntax element related to level definition and a designation syntax element related to target designation from a bitstream; defining one or more levels based on the definition syntax element; and setting a target level designated by the designation syntax element among the defined levels for a target region designated by the designation syntax element.

  • Patent number: 11962798
    Abstract: A video decoding apparatus decodes a sequence of one or more pictures in the unit of blocks which are split from each picture. The apparatus comprising a decoder configured to reconstruct, from a bitstream, a current motion vector difference of the current block among the blocks which belong to the sequence of one or more pictures, and an image decoder configured to predict and decode the current block using the motion vector of the current block. When the current motion vector difference of the current block is zero, the resolution of the current motion vector difference of the current block is set to the ΒΌ pixel precision without the information on the motion vector resolution extracted.

  • Patent number: 11924473
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method for decoding a video including determining a coding unit to be decoded by block partitioning, decoding prediction syntaxes for the coding unit, the prediction syntaxes including a skip flag indicating whether the coding unit is encoded in a skip mode, after the decoding of the prediction syntaxes, decoding transform syntaxes including a transformation/quantization skip flag and a coding unit cbf, wherein the transformation/quantization skip flag indicates whether inverse transformation, inverse quantization, and at least part of in-loop filterings are skipped, and the coding unit cbf indicates whether all coefficients in a luma block and two chroma blocks constituting the coding unit are zero, and reconstructing the coding unit based on the prediction syntaxes and the transform syntaxes.

  • Patent number: 11849121
    Abstract: Disclosed are an inter-prediction method and an video decoding device. One embodiment of the present invention provides an inter-prediction method executed in an video decoding device, including deriving a motion vector of a current block based on motion information decoded from a bitstream; acquiring reference samples of a first reference block by using the motion vector, wherein reference samples of an external region located outside a reference picture among the first reference block are acquired from a corresponding region corresponding to the external region within the reference picture; and predicting the current block based on the acquired reference samples.
