Accordingly, true motion scalability can be achieved to improve adaptability to changing network circumstances.

A scalable video codec includes an encoder that encodes an original moving picture; a rate control unit that allocates an optimal amount of bits for each coding unit based on a bit-rate desired by a user; a pre-decoder that receives a bit-stream and extracts a bit-stream having an appropriate amount of bits; and a decoder that decodes image sequences of the moving picture from the extracted bit-stream, so as to reconstruct the original moving picture. In particular, the present invention focuses on the operation performed in the rate control unit 340. The rate control unit operates a definition step of a bit-rate function available for use in the predecoder, a pre-summation step to thereby obtain the uniform visual quality, an approximation to determine the distortion function, and a normalization step to allow the total allocated bit-rates to be equal to a target bit-rate.

Disclosed are a method for deriving a temporal predictive motion vector, and an apparatus using the method. An image decoding method may comprise the steps of: determining whether or not a block to be predicted is brought into contact with a boundary of a largest coding unit (LCU); and determining whether or not a first call block is available according to whether or not the block to be predicted is brought into contact with the boundary of the LCU. Accordingly, unnecessary memory bandwidth may be reduced, and implementation complexity may also be reduced.
