FIELD: physics, video.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to video encoding and decoding. A method and an apparatus for encoding/decoding video are disclosed. The method of decoding video includes receiving and parsing a bitstream of encoded video and decoding the encoded image data for the maximum coding unit, based on information regarding the coded depth of the maximum coding unit, information regarding the encoding mode, and the coding unit pattern information.
EFFECT: providing efficient encoding or decoding of video content with high resolution or high quality using information indicating whether texture information of the coding unit has been encoded, while taking into account hierarchical depth.
