Abstract

The present invention relates to a technique for encoding and decoding video data, and more particularly, to a method for performing inter-prediction in an effective manner. The present invention combines an inter-prediction method using an AMVP mode and an inter-prediction method using a merge mode so as to propose a method for using the same candidate. The method for encoding video data proposed by the present invention comprises the following steps: receiving mode information on an inter-prediction method of a current block; determining, on the basis of the received mode information, whether the interprediction method to be applied to the current block is an AMVP mode or a merge mode; and selecting a candidate to derive motion information of the current block, wherein the candidate is selected in a left region, top region and corner region of the current block and in the same position block as the current block, and the AMVP mode and the merge mode are applied on the basis of the selected candidate.

Claims (12)

1. A method of decoding image information, comprising:

receiving prediction information on an inter prediction to be applied to a current block;

determining a merge mode between the merge mode and a motion vector prediction (MVP) mode for the current block based on the prediction information; and

deriving motion information on the current block based on the determined merge mode and a plurality of candidate blocks,

wherein the candidate blocks for the merge mode are located in same regions in which candidate blocks for the MVP mode are located.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the candidate blocks for the merge mode include a first neighboring block positioned at a left side of the current block, a second neighboring block positioned at a top side of the current block, and corner neighboring blocks of the current block.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the corner neighboring blocks include a third neighboring block positioned at a bottom left corner side of the current block, a fourth neighboring block positioned at a top right corner side of the current block, and a fifth neighboring block positioned at the top left corner side of the current block.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the prediction information includes merge flag information indicating the merge mode is applied to the current block, and

wherein the merge mode is determined based on the merge flag information.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the received prediction information includes direction information indicating a block used for deriving the motion information of the current block among the candidate blocks when the merge mode is determined.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the received prediction information includes direction information indicating a direction of the prediction on the current block,

wherein the direction is one of direction L0, direction L1, and bi-direction.
