Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for encoding and decoding an image. The method for decoding an image includes: deriving an initial motion vector from a merge candidate list of a current block; deriving a refined motion vector using the initial motion vector; and generating a prediction block of the current block using the refined motion vector.

Claims (29)

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

decoding an initial motion vector index information of a current block indicating a merge candidate used as an initial motion vector for deriving a refined motion vector;

deriving an initial motion vector, based the initial motion vector index information, from a merge candidate list of the current block;

decoding motion compensation information of the current block indicating a motion vector difference;

deriving a refined motion vector indicating a position in a cross shape region based on the motion compensation information; and

generating a prediction block of the current block using the refined motion vector,

wherein the cross-shape region is based on a position indicated by the initial motion vector.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the deriving of the initial motion vector comprises, deriving a motion vector of a merge candidate corresponding to a predetermined number of the merge candidate list as the initial motion vector, in response to the initial motion vector index information not being decoded.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the merge candidate corresponding to the predetermined number is the first merge candidate of the merge candidate list.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

obtaining merge mode usage information; and

obtaining merge mode based motion vector refine usage information based on the merge mode usage information.

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

deriving an initial motion vector from a merge candidate list of a current block;

deriving a refined motion vector indicating a position in a cross-shape region based on motion compensation information;

generating a prediction block of the current block using the refined motion vector;

encoding initial motion vector index information of the current block indicating a merge candidate used as the initial motion vector in the merge candidate list; and

encoding the motion compensation information of the current block indicatin motion vector difference value,

wherein the cross-shape region is determined based on a position indicated by the initial motion vector.

6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising:

encoding merge mode usage information; and

encoding merge mode based motion vector refine usage information based on the merge mode usage information.

7. An apparatus comprising:

a non-transitory computer readable recording medium storing a bitstream decoded by an image decoder, the bitstream including initial motion vector index information and motion compensation information;

the initial motion vector index information is used to indicate an initial motion vector in a merge candidate list of a current block for deriving a refined motion vector;

the motion compensation information is used to indicate a motion vector difference value of the current block for deriving the refined motion vector; and

the initial motion vector based on the initial motion vector index information and the motion vector difference value based on the motion compensation information are used to derive the refined motion vector,

wherein the refined motion vector indicates a position in a cross-shape region based on the motion compensation information, and

wherein the cross-shape region is determined based on a position indicated by the initial motion vector.
