Abstract
The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for encoding/decoding a video using a split layer. The video encoding/decoding method generates an encoded image data by encoding a current block partitioned into a plurality of subblocks, generates an encoded partition information data by encoding partition information of the current block, generates a bitstream including the encoded image data and the encoded partition information data, and then reconstructs the video image from the generated bitstream. According to the present disclosure, when encoding a high resolution video with variable sized blocks, various block shapes may be used for the encoding, and efficient encoding and decoding of the block partition information can improve the compression efficiency.
