Abstract

Claims (27)

1. A method of processing a video signal, the method comprising:

acquiring a first syntax element indicating whether a subblock-based merge mode is applied to a current block;

when the first syntax element indicates that the subblock-based merge mode is not applied to the current block, acquiring a second syntax element indicating whether a merge mode using a motion vector difference is applied to the current block;

when the second syntax element indicates that the merge mode using the motion vector difference is applied to the current block, acquiring a third syntax element indicating a candidate used for inter prediction of the current block among candidates included in a merge candidate list of the current block, acquiring information related to the motion vector difference, inducing a motion vector of the current block by adding the motion vector difference to a motion vector of the candidate indicated by the third syntax element;

when the first syntax element indicates that the subblock-based merge mode is applied to the current block, inducing the motion vector of the current block without parsing the second syntax element; and

generating a predicted block of the current block using the motion vector of the current block.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the third syntax element indicates the candidate used for the inter prediction of the current block among a first candidate and a second candidate of the merge candidate list of the current block.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the third syntax element is parsed from a bitstream when a maximum number of merge candidates is larger than 1, and it is inferred that the third syntax element is 0 when the maximum number of merge candidates is not larger than 1.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the acquiring the information related to the motion vector difference comprises:

acquiring a fourth syntax element indicating a distance of the motion vector difference; and

acquiring a fifth syntax element indicating a direction of the motion vector difference.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising acquiring a sixth syntax element indicating a candidate used for the inter prediction of the current block among candidates included in a subblock merge candidate list of the current block when the first syntax element indicates that the subblock-based merge mode is applied to the current block, wherein the motion vector of the current block is induced in units of at least one subblock included in the current block, based on a motion vector of the candidate indicated by the sixth syntax element when the first syntax element indicates that the subblock-based merge mode is applied to the current block.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein, when the first syntax element indicates that the subblock-based merge mode is applied to the current block, it is inferred that the second syntax element is 0.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the sixth syntax element is parsed from a bitstream when a maximum number of subblock merge candidates is larger than 1, and it is inferred that the sixth syntax element is 0 when the maximum number of subblock merge candidates is not larger than 1.

8. A method of processing a video signal, the method comprising:

encoding a first syntax element indicating whether a subblock-based merge mode is applied to a current block;

when the first syntax element indicates that the subblock-based merge mode is not applied to the current block, encoding a second syntax element indicating whether a merge mode using a motion vector difference is applied to the current block;

when the second syntax element indicates that the merge mode using the motion vector difference is applied to the current block, encoding a third syntax element indicating a candidate used for inter prediction of the current block among candidates included in a merge candidate list of the current block, and encoding information related to the motion vector difference for inducing a motion vector of the current block by adding the motion vector difference to a motion vector of the candidate indicated by the third syntax element;

when the first syntax element indicates that the subblock-based merge mode is applied to the current block, inducing the motion vector of the current block without encoding the second syntax element; and

generating a predicted block of the current block using the motion vector of the current block.

9. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a bitstream, the bitstream being decoded by a decoding method,

wherein the decoding method, comprising:

acquiring a first syntax element indicating whether a subblock-based merge mode is applied to a current block;

when the first syntax element indicates that the subblock-based merge mode is not applied to the current block, acquiring a second syntax element indicating whether a merge mode using a motion vector difference is applied to the current block;

when the second syntax element indicates that the merge mode using the motion vector difference is applied to the current block, acquiring a third syntax element indicating a candidate used for inter prediction of the current block among candidates included in a merge candidate list of the current block, acquiring information related to the motion vector difference, inducing a motion vector of the current block by adding the motion vector difference to a motion vector of the candidate indicated by the third syntax element;

when the first syntax element indicates that the subblock-based merge mode is applied to the current block, inducing the motion vector of the current block without parsing the second syntax element; and

generating a predicted block of the current block using the motion vector of the current block.
