- the depth of the largest coding unit is the highest depth and the minimum coding unit may be defined as the lowest coding unit.
- the maximum coding unit decreases as the depth increases, the size of the coding unit for each depth decreases, and thus, the coding unit of the higher depth may include coding units of a plurality of lower depths.
- the image data of the current picture may be divided into maximum coding units according to the maximum size of the coding unit, and each maximum coding unit may include coding units divided by depths. Since the maximum coding unit is divided according to depths, image data of a spatial domain included in the maximum coding unit may be hierarchically classified according to depths.
- the maximum depth and the maximum size of the coding unit that limit the total number of times of hierarchically dividing the height and the width of the maximum coding unit may be preset.
- the coding unit determiner 120 encodes at least one divided region obtained by dividing the region of the largest coding unit for each depth, and determines a depth at which the final encoding result is output for each of the at least one divided region.

- the first maximum depth according to an embodiment may represent the total number of divisions from the maximum coding unit to the minimum coding unit.
- the second maximum depth according to an embodiment may represent the total number of depth levels from the maximum coding unit to the minimum coding unit. For example, when the depth of the largest coding unit is 0, the depth of the coding unit obtained by dividing the largest coding unit once may be set to 1, and the depth of the coding unit divided twice may be set to 2. In this case, if the coding unit divided four times from the maximum coding unit is the minimum coding unit, since depth levels of 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 exist, the first maximum depth is set to 4 and the second maximum depth is set to 5.

- the partition type includes not only symmetric partitions in which the height or width of the prediction unit is divided by a symmetrical ratio, but also partitions divided in an asymmetrical ratio, such as 1: n or n: 1, by a geometric form It may optionally include partitioned partitions, arbitrary types of partitions, and the like.
- the prediction mode of the prediction unit may be at least one of an intra mode, an inter mode, and a skip mode.
- the intra mode and the inter mode may be performed on partitions having sizes of 2N ⁇ 2N, 2N ⁇ N, N ⁇ 2N, and N ⁇ N.
- the skip mode may be performed only for partitions having a size of 2N ⁇ 2N.

For example, if the size of the transform unit of the current coding unit of size 2Nx2N is 2Nx2N, the transform depth is 0, the transform depth 1 if the size of the transform unit is NxN, and the transform depth 2 if the size of the transform unit is N / 2xN / 2. Can be. That is, the transformation unit having a tree structure may also be set for the transformation unit according to the transformation depth.
- the encoded information for each coded depth requires not only the coded depth but also prediction related information and transformation related information. Accordingly, the coding unit determiner 120 may determine not only the coded depth that generated the minimum coding error, but also a partition type obtained by dividing a prediction unit into partitions, a prediction mode for each prediction unit, and a size of a transformation unit for transformation.
- a method of determining a coding unit, a prediction unit / partition, and a transformation unit according to a tree structure of a maximum coding unit according to an embodiment will be described in detail later with reference to FIGS. 10 to 20.

- the coded depth information may be defined using depth-specific segmentation information indicating whether to encode to a coding unit of a lower depth without encoding to the current depth. If the current depth of the current coding unit is a coding depth, since the current coding unit is encoded in a coding unit of the current depth, split information of the current depth may be defined so that it is no longer divided into lower depths. On the contrary, if the current depth of the current coding unit is not the coding depth, encoding should be attempted using the coding unit of the lower depth, and thus split information of the current depth may be defined to be divided into coding units of the lower depth.
