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.
