Abstract: An inter-layer video decoding method is described including reconstructing a color image and a depth image of a first layer based on encoding information about the color image and the depth image of the first layer obtained from a bitstream. When it is determined that a prediction mode of a current block of a second layer image to be decoded is a view synthesized prediction mode based on an image synthesized from the first layer image a determination is made whether to perform luminance compensation on the second layer current block to be reconstructed. Use of the view synthesized prediction mode to reconstruct the second layer current block depends on the luminance compensation determination.
