Abstract

The present invention relates to a method and device for sharing a candidate list. A method of generating a merging candidate list for a predictive block may include: producing, on the basis of a coding block including a predictive block on which a parallel merging process is performed, at least one of a spatial merging candidate and a temporal merging candidate of the predictive block; and generating a single merging candidate list for the coding block on the basis of the produced merging candidate. Thus, it is possible to increase processing speeds for coding and decoding by performing inter-picture prediction in parallel on a plurality of predictive blocks.

Claims (24)

1. A method for decoding a video signal comprising:

determining, based on a size of a block, whether a first sub-block of the block and a second sub-block of the block share a single merging candidate list, the block comprising the first sub-block of the block and the second sub-block of the block;

deriving, when the first sub-block of the block and the second sub-block of the block share the single merging candidate list, at least one merging candidate relating to the first sub-block of the block based on a pixel position and the size of the block; and

generating a first merging candidate list for the first sub-block of the block based on the merging candidate, and

wherein the determining whether the first sub-block of the block and the second sub-block of the block share the single merging candidate list is determined based on a result of comparison the size of the block and a predetermined size.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the predetermined size is 8×8.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the block is a coding block.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the block includes at least one coding block.

5. A method for encoding a video signal comprising:

determining, based on a size of a block, whether a first sub-block of the block and a second sub-block of the block share a single merging candidate list, the block comprising the first sub-block of the block and the second sub-block of the block;

deriving, when the first sub-block of the block and the second sub-block of the block share the single merging candidate list, at least one merging candidate relating to the first sub-block of the block based on a pixel position and the size of the block; and

generating a first merging candidate list for the first sub-block of the block based on the merging candidate, and

wherein the determining whether the first sub-block of the block and the second sub-block of the block share the single merging candidate list is determined based on a result of comparison the size of the block and a predetermined size.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the predetermined size is 8×8.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the block is a coding block.

8. The method of claim 5 , wherein the block includes at least one coding block.

9. A non-transitory recording medium storing a bitstream formed by a method for encoding a video signal, the method comprising:

determining, based on a size of a block, whether a first sub-block of the block and a second sub-block of the block share a single merging candidate list, the block comprising the first sub-block of the block and the second sub-block of the block;

deriving, when the first sub-block of the block and the second sub-block of the block share the single merging candidate list, at least one merging candidate relating to the first sub-block of the block based on a pixel position and the size of the block; and

generating a first merging candidate list for the first sub-block of the block based on the merging candidate, and

wherein the determining whether the first sub-block of the block and the second sub-block of the block share the single merging candidate list is determined based on a result of comparison the size of the block and a predetermined size.

10. The recording medium of claim 9 , wherein the predetermined size is 8×8.

11. The recording medium of claim 9 , wherein the block is a coding block.

12. The recording medium of claim 9 , wherein the block includes at least one coding block.
