Abstract

An apparatus and method for encoding and decoding a multi-view image including a stereoscopic image are provided. The apparatus for encoding a multi-view image includes a base layer encoding unit that encodes a base layer image to generate a base layer bit stream, a view-based conversion unit that performs view-based conversion of the base layer image to generate a view-converted base layer image, a subtractor obtaining a residual between a enhancement layer image and the view-converted base layer image, and an enhancement layer encoding unit that encodes the obtained residual to generate an enhancement layer bit stream.
