Abstract

An image encoding method and an image decoding method are provided. The image decoding method includes deriving a temporal merge candidate from a co-located block of a current block, generating a merge candidate list of the current block based on the derived temporal merge candidate, and generating a prediction block of the current block based on the generated merge candidate list. The deriving a temporal merge candidate includes scaling a motion vector derived from the co-located block based on a POC difference value between the current block and a reference picture of the current block and a POC difference value between the co-located block and a reference picture of the co-located block, and modifying the scaled motion vector based on motion vector scaling information between a neighboring block of the current block and a co-located block of the neighboring block.

Claims (22)

1. A method for decoding an image, the method comprising:

deriving a position of co-located sub block of a current sub block based on a motion vector of a spatial neighboring block of a current block, wherein the co-located sub block is located in a co-located block of the current block including the current sub block;

deriving a sub block based temporal merge candidate of the current block based on motion information of the co-located sub block; and

generating a sub block based merge candidate list including the sub block based temporal merge candidate,

wherein the sub block based temporal merge candidate of the current block is derived from motion information of a center sub block located at the center position in the co-located block when the motion information of the co-located sub block is unavailable, and

wherein the step of deriving the sub block based temporal merge candidate of the current block based on motion information of the co-located sub block is performed when the center sub block is only inter-coded.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the spatial neighboring block is a left neighboring block of the current block.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the motion vector of the spatial neighboring block of the current block is used only when the motion vector of the spatial neighboring block is available.

4. A method for encoding an image, the method comprising:

deriving a position of co-located sub block of a current sub block based on a motion vector of a spatial neighboring block of a current block, wherein the co-located sub block is located in a co-located block of the current block including the current sub block;

deriving a sub block based temporal merge candidate of the current block based on motion information of the co-located sub block; and

generating a sub block based merge candidate list including the sub block based temporal merge candidate,

wherein the sub block based temporal merge candidate of the current block is derived from motion information of a center sub block located at the center position in the co-located block when the motion information of the co-located sub block is unavailable, and

wherein the step of deriving the sub block based temporal merge candidate of the current block based on motion information of the co-located sub block is performed when the center sub block is only inter-coded.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the spatial neighboring block is a left neighboring block of the current block.

6. The method of claim 4 , wherein the motion vector of the spatial neighboring block of the current block is used only when the motion vector of the spatial neighboring block is available.

7. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a bitstream generated by the encoding method, wherein the encoding method comprising:

deriving a position of co-located sub block of a current sub block based on a motion vector of a spatial neighboring block of a current block, wherein the co-located sub block is located in a co-located block of the current block including the current sub block;

deriving a sub block based temporal merge candidate of the current block based on motion information of the co-located sub block; and

generating a sub block based merge candidate list including the sub block based temporal merge candidate,

wherein the sub block based temporal merge candidate of the current block is derived from motion information of a center sub block located at the center position in the co-located block when the motion information of the co-located sub block is unavailable, and

wherein the step of deriving the sub block based temporal merge candidate of the current block based on motion information of the co-located sub block is performed when the center sub block is only inter-coded.
