Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a technique for encoding and decoding video data, and more particularly, to a method for performing inter-prediction in an effective manner. The present disclosure combines an inter-prediction method using an AMVP mode and an inter-prediction method using a merge mode so as to propose a method for using the same candidate. The method for encoding video data proposed by the present disclosure comprises the following steps: receiving mode information on an inter-prediction method of a current block; determining, on the basis of the received mode information, whether the interprediction method to be applied to the current block is an AMVP mode or a merge mode; and selecting a candidate to derive motion information of the current block, wherein the candidate is selected in a left region, top region and corner region of the current block and in the same position block as the current block, and the AMVP mode and the merge mode are applied on the basis of the selected candidate.

Claims (16)

1. A non-transitory computer-readable digital storage medium storing a bitstream generated by a video encoding method, the method comprising:

determining a merge mode that is applied for a current block;

generating inter prediction mode information for the current block;

deriving merge candidates for the merge mode from neighboring blocks of the current block;

selecting one of the merge candidates to derive motion information of the current block;

deriving the motion information of the current block based on the selected merge candidate;

performing prediction on the current block based on the derived motion information;

generating index information for the selected merge candidate; and

encoding video information including the inter prediction mode information and the index information to generate the bitstream,

wherein the neighboring blocks for the merge candidates include a first neighboring block located in a left side of the current block, a second neighboring block located in an upper side of the current block, and corner neighboring blocks of the current block, and

wherein the neighboring blocks for the merge candidates include a temporal neighboring block which is located in a reference picture.

2. A transmission method of data for a video, the method comprising:

obtaining a bitstream for a video, wherein the bitstream is generated based on determining a merge mode that is applied for a current block, generating inter prediction mode information for the current block, deriving merge candidates for the merge mode from neighboring blocks of the current block, selecting one of the merge candidates to derive motion information of the current block, deriving the motion information of the current block based on the selected merge candidate, performing prediction on the current block based on the derived motion information, generating index information for the selected merge candidate, and encoding video information including the inter prediction mode information and the index information; and

transmitting the data comprising the bitstream,

wherein the neighboring blocks for the merge candidates include a first neighboring block located in a left side of the current block, a second neighboring block located in an upper side of the current block, and corner neighboring blocks of the current block, and

wherein the neighboring blocks for the merge candidates include a temporal neighboring block which is located in a reference picture.
