Abstract

A method and apparatus for decoding an image are provided. The method includes: decoding information representing that a first block of the image has been encoded in a first mode; and reconstructing the first block by setting pixel values of the first block to be identical with pixel values of a second block of the image that is adjacent to the first block and has been decoded prior to the first block, wherein the first mode is a mode for encoding information representing that the first block is identical or similar to the second block and has been encoded in the first mode, instead of encoding the pixel values of the first block.
