Abstract

Disclosed herein are an image decoding method, an image decoding apparatus, an image encoding method, an image encoding apparatus and a computer-readable recording medium. An image decoding method according to the present invention may include: decoding information on a prediction method of a current block; based on the information on the prediction method, determining a prediction method of the current block; and generating a prediction block of the current block by performing prediction for the current block based on the determined prediction method. Herein, the information on the prediction method of the current block may include at least one of information on subblock merge, information on MMVD, information on multi hypothesis prediction, and information on partition prediction.
