Abstract

A method for processing a video signal using an affine motion prediction is disclosed. The method includes checking that a current block is encoded by the affine motion prediction, obtaining motion vectors for a plurality of control points of the current block, determining a motion vector for each of a plurality of subblocks included in the current block based on the motion vectors for the plurality of control points, and performing a prediction for the current block from the motion vector for each of the plurality of subblocks, wherein each of the plurality of subblocks is configured to have a pre-defined width and a pre-defined height.

determining a motion vector for each subblock of a plurality of subblocks included in the current block based on the merge candidate index;

generating a prediction sample for the current block based on the motion vector for each subblock of the plurality of subblocks; and

reconstructing the current block based on the prediction sample,
