Abstract

A method for encoding/decoding a motion vector and an apparatus thereof are disclosed. The method includes defining a candidate motion vector set with respect to a current motion vector; selecting a predicted motion vector from the candidate motion vector set; determining a predictability of the predicted motion vector in a decoding apparatus; encoding the current motion vector by using a motion vector prediction mode for indicating the predicted motion vector and the predictability, if the predictability is determined positive; and encoding the current motion vector by using a motion vector prediction mode for indicating a default predicted motion vector and an unpredictability, if the predictability is determined negative. According to the disclosure, it becomes unnecessary to directly notify of the predicted motion vector of the current motion vector to the decoding apparatus, and instead a predetermined shared function is provided to inform of or search the predicted motion vector.
