Abstract

A method for decoding an image signal according to the present invention may comprise the steps of: determining whether there is a brightness change between a current image including a current block and a reference image of the current image; if it is determined that there is a brightness change between the current image and the reference image, determining weight prediction parameter candidates for the current block; determining a weight prediction parameter for the current block on the basis of index information which specifies any one of the weight prediction parameter candidates; and performing a prediction on the current block on the basis of the weight prediction parameter.

Claims (34)

1 . A method for decoding a video signal with a decoding apparatus, comprising:

determining, with the decoding apparatus, a plurality of weight prediction parameter candidates for a coding block based on number information signaled in a unit of a sequence of a bitstream, the sequence being a higher unit than the coding block;
