Abstract

A video decoding method includes determining, based on an area of a current block, whether a multi-prediction combination mode for predicting the current block by combining prediction results obtained according to a plurality of prediction modes is applied to the current block, when the multi-prediction combination mode is applied to the current block, determining the plurality of prediction modes to be applied to the current block, generating a plurality of prediction blocks of the current block, according to the plurality of prediction modes, and determining a combined prediction block of the current block, by combining the plurality of prediction blocks according to respective weights.

Claims (18)

1. A video decoding method performed by a device and comprising:

when at least one of a width and a height of a current coding unit is equal to or greater than a predetermined value, obtaining, from a bitstream, information indicating whether a combined prediction is applied for the current coding unit,

when the information indicates that the combined prediction is applied for the current coding unit, obtaining an inter prediction block by performing inter prediction on the current coding unit using a merge candidate list;

when the information indicates that the combined prediction is applied for the current coding unit, obtaining an intra prediction block by performing intra prediction on the current coding unit in a planar mode; and

obtaining a combined prediction block of the current coding unit by combining the intra prediction block and the inter prediction block according to a weight value.
