Abstract

A method for decoding an image, according to the present invention, comprises the steps of: determining whether a coding block is divided into a first prediction unit and a second prediction unit; determining a partition type of the coding block when determining that the coding block is divided; deriving first motion information about a first prediction unit and second motion information about a second prediction unit within the coding block; and acquiring a prediction sample within the coding block on the basis of the first motion information and the second motion information.

4. The video decoding method of claim 3 , wherein a first weight applied to the first prediction sample is determined on the basis of an x-coordinate and a y-coordinate of the prediction sample.

5. The video decoding method of claim 4 , wherein a second weight applied to the second prediction sample is derived by subtracting the first weight from a constant value.

6. A video encoding method comprising:

in case that there are a first prediction and a second prediction corresponding to a coding block, determining a partition type of the coding block;

deriving first motion information regarding the first prediction in the coding block and second motion information regarding the second prediction in the coding block; and
