Abstract

Disclosed are a method for processing a video signal by using an affine motion prediction and an apparatus thereof. A method for processing a video signal according to the present disclosure may include: adding, to an affine candidate list, an affine coded block coded in an affine prediction mode among neighbor blocks of a current block; obtaining a syntax element indicating a candidate used for the affine motion prediction of the current block in the affine candidate list; deriving a control point motion vector predictor of the current block based on an affine motion model of the candidate indicated by the syntax element; deriving a control point motion vector of the current block by adding a control point motion vector difference to the control point motion vector predictor; and generating a prediction block of the current block by using the control point motion vector of the current block.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the determining of the block further includes: determining an affine candidate scaled based on a picture order count between reference pictures when there is no affine coded block among the neighbor blocks of the current block.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the determining of the block further includes:

determining 0 or 1 block coded in the affine prediction mode in each group as the affine candidate.

6. A method for encoding a video signal, comprising:

determining a block coded in an affine prediction mode among neighbor blocks of a current block as an affine candidate based on that the block having a same reference picture as a reference picture of the current block;
