METHOD AND DEVICE FOR SHARING LIST OF CANDIDATES Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC H04N19/52 H04N19/105 H04N19/119 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: video signal decoding method is proposed. The method comprises the step of determining, whether the parallel merge processing is applicable based on the size of the encoding unit and the parallel merge level information, wherein the parallel merge level information is unit size information, to which the parallel merge processing is applied. Further, according to the method, it is extracted, when the parallel merge processing of, at least, one merge candidate related to the first prediction unit is applicable, using the position of the encoding unit, the encoding unit comprising the first prediction unit and the second prediction unit.

EFFECT: improving the speed of encoding and decoding by performing inter-prediction in the parallel method by generating a single candidate list.
