Abstract

According to the disclosure of this document, in subblock-based temporal motion vector prediction (sbTMVP), a subblock position for deriving a motion vector in units of a subblock can be efficiently calculated, and through this, video/image coding efficiency can be improved and hardware implementation can be simplified.
