A decoding method for decoding an encoded picture which is partitioned into coding tree blocks which are further partitioned into coding blocks with different sizes, comprises parsing a first indication from the sequence parameter set (SPS)/picture parameter set (PPS)/slice header/tile header of a bit stream containing the encoded picture, determining the partition mode of the coding tree blocks, which are confined by block size restriction parameter and partition depth restriction parameter included in the SPS/PPS/slice header/tile header when the first indication is first value, or determining the partition mode of the multiple coding tree blocks, which are confined by default by block size restriction parameter and default partition depth restriction parameter when the first indication is second value or not presented in the SPS/PPS/slice header/tile header, and partitioning the coding tree blocks into the coding blocks according to the partition mode, and decoding the coding blocks.
