FIELD: information technology.
SUBSTANCE: method involves dividing video data of a current video frame into maximum coding units; determining the coded depth for outputting the encoding result by encoding the divided region of the maximum coding unit according to the operating mode of the encoding tool; outputting a bit stream containing encoded video data of the depth, information relating to the coded depth of the maximum coding unit, information relating to the coding mode, and information relating to the relationship between the depth of the maximum coding unit, the encoding tool and the operating mode in the maximum coding unit.
EFFECT: high efficiency of encoding high-resolution images by determining the depth of the coding unit and the operating mode of the encoding tool according to data characteristics of the image.
