Abstract

Disclosed herein are an image decoding method, an image decoding apparatus, an image encoding method, an image encoding apparatus and a computer-readable recording medium. An image decoding method according to the present invention may include: decoding information on a prediction method of a current block; based on the information on the prediction method, determining a prediction method of the current block; and generating a prediction block of the current block by performing prediction for the current block based on the determined prediction method. Herein, the information on the prediction method of the current block may include at least one of information on subblock merge, information on MMVD, information on multi hypothesis prediction, and information on partition prediction.

Claims (21)

1 . A method of decoding an image, the method comprising:

decoding information on a prediction method of a current block;

determining a prediction method of the current block based on the information on the prediction method; and

generating a prediction block of the current block by performing prediction for the current block based on the determined prediction method,

wherein the information on the prediction method includes at least one of information on a subblock-based merge mode, information on a merge mode with a motion vector difference (MMVD), information on multi hypothesis prediction, or information on geometric partition prediction, and

wherein determining the prediction method of the current block comprises:

determining whether the subblock-based merge mode is applied to the current block; and

determining, based on that the subblock-based merge mode is not applied to the current block, whether a regular merge mode is applied to the current block.

2 . The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein whether the subblock-based merge mode is applied to the current block is determined before determining whether the multi hypothesis prediction is applied to the current block.

3 . The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein whether the multi hypothesis prediction is applied to the current block is determined based on that the regular merge mode is not applied to the current block.

4 . A method of encoding an image, the method comprising:

determining a prediction method of a current block;

generating a prediction block of the current block by performing prediction for the current block based on the prediction method;

generating a residual block of the current block based on the prediction block;

obtaining quantized coefficients from residual samples in the residual block; and

encoding information on the prediction method and information on the quantized coefficients,

wherein the information on the prediction method includes at least one of information on a subblock-based merge mode, information on a merge mode with a motion vector difference (MMVD), information on multi hypothesis prediction, or information on geometric partition prediction, and

wherein determining the prediction method of the current block comprises:

determining whether the subblock-based merge mode is applied to the current block; and

determining, based on that the subblock-based merge mode is not applied to the current block, whether a regular merge mode is applied to the current block.

5 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a bitstream generated by a method of claim 4 .
