Abstract

The present invention provides a method and a device for deriving an inter-view motion merging candidate. A method for deriving an inter-view motion merging candidate, according to an embodiment of the present invention, can comprise the steps of: on the basis of encoding information of an inter-view reference block derived by means of a variation vector of a current block, determining whether or not inter-view motion merging of the current block is possible; and, if inter-view motion merging of the current block is not possible, generating an inter-view motion merging candidate of the current block by using encoding information of an adjacent block that is spatially adjacent to the inter-view reference block.

Claims (23)

1. A method for decoding a video signal, comprising:

determining a first reference block corresponding to a first current block;

determining that motion information of the first reference block is not available for deriving motion information of the first current block; and

based on the determination that the motion information of the first reference block is not available, deriving the motion information of the first current block from motion information of a spatial neighboring block of the first reference block,

wherein the spatial neighboring block of the first reference block is located at the center of a region including the first reference block.

2. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein determining that motion information of the first reference block is not available for deriving motion information of the first current block comprises determining that the first reference block is not inter-coded.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining a second reference block corresponding to a second current block;

determining that motion information of the second reference block is available for deriving motion information of the second current block; and

based on the determination that the motion information of the second reference block is available, deriving the motion information of the second current block using information of the second reference block.

4. The method of claim 3 ,

wherein determining that motion information of the second reference block is available for deriving motion information of the second current block comprises determining that the second reference block is inter-coded.

5. A method for encoding a video signal comprising:

determining a first reference block corresponding to a first current block;

determining that motion information of the first reference block is not available for deriving motion information of the first current block; and

based on the determination that the motion information of the first reference block is not available, deriving the motion information of the first current block from motion information of a spatial neighboring block of the first reference block,

wherein the spatial neighboring block of the first reference block is located at the center of a region including the first reference block.

6. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a bitstream formed by a method of encoding a video, the method comprising:

determining a first reference block corresponding to a first current block;

determining that motion information of the first reference block is not available for deriving motion information of the first current block; and

based on the determination that the motion information of the first reference block is not available, deriving the motion information of the first current block from motion information of a spatial neighboring block of the first reference block

wherein the spatial neighboring block of the first reference block is located at the center of a region including the first reference block.
