Abstract: A video encoding and decoding method and device and a video processing system are provided. In the encoding method and device, ordinate and abscissa position information of each block in a searching area is established by selecting an appropriate origin of coordinates of the searching area; meanwhile, an offset of a current macro block is encoded by using information of peripheral blocks of the macro block encoded currently as a context for encoding position offset information of a corresponding macro block in an adjacent view reference image of the current macro block. In the decoding method and device, position information of a corresponding macro block in a coordinate system is obtained by parsing offset information of the corresponding macro block of the current macro block, and motion information of the corresponding macro block is used as motion information of the current macro block. So the coding efficiency is increased.
