Abstract: The invention relates to a method for encoding/decoding an image. The image decoding method according to the invention comprises the steps of: obtaining diagonal partition information on a current block; determining a diagonal partition structure of the current block using the diagonal partition information; and diagonally partitioning the current block into a first and a second area based on the determined diagonal partition structure, the current block being a leaf node of a square or rectangular partition.

Abstract: A video encoder may signal a set of values for one or more deblocking filter parameters at a high level parameter set. A video decoder may receive and decode the set of values. The video encoder may also encode an index to the set of values at a lower level. The video decoder may decode the index and then use the index to determine the particular value from the set of values to determine the deblocking filter parameter.

Abstract: A method for encoding pictures within a groups of pictures using prediction, where a first reference picture from a group of pictures and a second reference pictures from the subsequent group of pictures are used in predicting pictures in the group of pictures associated with the first reference picture. A plurality of anchor pictures in the group of pictures associated with the first reference picture may be predicted using both the first and second reference pictures to ensure a smooth transition between different groups of pictures within a video frame.
