Abstract

An image decoding method performed by a decoding apparatus includes the operations: deriving a correspondence block corresponding to the current block of the current picture, the correspondence block being located in a co-located picture; deriving a movement vector of the correspondence block; scaling the movement vector of the correspondence block based on a first temporal distance and second temporal distance, the first temporal distance being the difference between the POC values of the co-located picture and POC values of the reference picture of the correspondence block, and the second temporal distance being the difference between the POC values of the co-located picture and POC values of the current picture containing the current block; deriving the movement vector updated based on the scaled movement vector and location of the current block; and deriving a movement vector of the current block based on the updated movement vector.
