Abstract

Video decoding method includes, when inter prediction of a current block is performed in an affine merge mode, generating an affine merge candidate list including a control point-based affine merge candidate corresponding to control point motion vectors determined by using motion vectors of neighboring blocks included in a block group of representative neighboring blocks according to corners of the current block, determining an affine motion vector of the current block by using control point motion vectors corresponding to a merge candidate selected from the affine merge candidate list, and obtaining prediction samples of the current block by using the affine motion vector of the current block, wherein when a right block of the current block is available, a representative neighboring block adjacent to a lower right corner of the current block is a block whose available motion information is obtained from among a neighboring block adjacent to the lower right corner of the current block and a right boundary of the current block and a neighboring block diagonally adjacent to the lower right corner of the current block.

Claims (12)

1. A video decoding method, comprising:

determining whether a right block is available for a current block according to a flag indicating a coding order of blocks including the current block and the right block;

when the right block is available for the current block, obtaining control point motion vectors as an affine merge candidate, using a motion vector of a first block in the right block, wherein the first block is adjacent to a lower right corner of the current block;

when the right block is unavailable for the current block, obtaining the control point motion vectors as the affine merge candidate, using a motion vector of a second block included in a collocated picture, wherein the second block is a collocated block located at a point diagonally adjacent to the lower right corner of the current block; and

obtaining predicted samples of the current block, using a motion vector included in an affine merge candidate list including the affine merge candidate.

2. A video decoding apparatus comprising:

a decoder configured to determine whether a right block is available for a current block according to a flag indicating a coding order of blocks including the current block and the right block;

an affine merge candidate list determiner configured to:

when the right block is available for the current block, obtain control point motion vectors as an affine merge candidate, using a motion vector of a first block in the right block,

wherein the first block is adjacent to a lower right corner of the current block,

when the right block is unavailable for the current block, obtain the control point motion vectors as the affine merge candidate, using a motion vector of a second block included in a collocated picture, wherein the second block is a collocated block located at a point diagonally adjacent to the lower right corner of the current block; and

an affine mode predictor configured to obtain predicted samples of the current block, using a motion vector included in an affine merge candidate list including the affine merge candidate.
