Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to a method for decoding a video signal, and an apparatus therefor, the method comprising the steps of: obtaining at least one first reference sample from a first reference picture which is different from a picture containing a current block; generating a first reference sample which is filtered by applying a filter to the obtained first reference sample; generating a reference sample array from the difference between the obtained first reference sample and the filtered first reference sample; obtaining first disparity vector information from the video signal; obtaining a first prediction sample from the generated reference sample array on the basis of the first disparity vector information; and restoring the current block on the basis of the first prediction sample.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for decoding a video signal by a decoding device, the method comprising: obtaining at least one first reference sample from a first reference picture based on a first motion vector; generating a filtered first reference sample by applying a filter to the obtained first reference sample; generating a reference sample array based on a difference between the obtained first reference sample and the filtered first reference sample; obtaining first disparity vector information from the video signal; obtaining a first prediction sample from the generated reference sample array based on the first disparity vector information; and reconstructing a current block based on the first prediction sample. 2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: obtaining inter-frame stripe prediction (ISP) mode information from the video signal, wherein the ISP mode information indicates a scanning order for the current block, and wherein reconstructing the current block includes: reconstructing a one-dimensional sample array for the current block based on the first prediction sample; and converting the reconstructed one-dimensional sample array to a two-dimensional sample array according to the scanning order indicated by the ISP mode information. 3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: obtaining segment number information from the video signal, wherein the segment number information indicates a number of segments contained in a one-dimensional sample array for the current block; and based on the number of segments being greater than 1, obtaining second disparity vector information from the video signal, and obtaining a second prediction sample from the reference sample array based on the second disparity vector information, wherein the current block is reconstructed based on the first prediction sample and the second prediction sample. 4. The method of claim 1 , wherein obtaining the at least one first reference sample includes: obtaining first motion information from the video signal; and obtaining a first motion vector and a first reference picture index from the obtained first motion information, wherein the first reference picture index indicates the first reference picture within a reference picture list. 5. The method of claim 1 , wherein generating the reference sample array includes: converting the difference to a first one-dimensional sample array according to a first scanning order; obtaining a sum of an absolute value of a difference between two adjacent samples within the first one-dimensional sample array; converting the difference to a second one-dimensional sample array according to a second scanning order; obtaining a sum of an absolute value of a difference between two adjacent samples within the second one-dimensional sample array; comparing the sum of the absolute value for the first one-dimensional sample array with the sum of the absolute value for the second one-dimensional sample array; and determining a one-dimensional sample array having a smaller sum of the absolute value as the reference sample array according to a result of the comparison. 6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the disparity vector information indicates a disparity vector for a specific segment in the current block, and wherein the disparity vector shows a difference between a start sample position of the specific segment and a start sample position of the first prediction sample in the reference sample array. 7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: obtaining first transform coefficient information from the video signal; and generating first residual data by performing an inverse transform based on the obtained first transform coefficient information, wherein reconstructing the current block includes obtaining a first reconstructed sample of the current block using the first prediction sample and the first residual data. 8. The method of claim 7 , further comprising: obtaining at least one second reference sample from a second reference picture based on a second motion vector; generating a second prediction sample by applying the filter to the obtained second reference sample; obtaining second transform coefficient information from the video signal; generating second residual data by performing an inverse transform based on the obtained second transform coefficient information; and obtaining a second reconstructed sample of the current block based on the second prediction sample and the second residual data. 9. The method of claim 8 , wherein reconstructing the current block includes reconstructing the current block by adding the first reconstructed sample and the second reconstructed sample of the current block. 10. The method of claim 8 , wherein obtaining the at least one second reference sample includes: obtaining second motion information from the video signal; and obtaining the second motion vector and a second reference picture index from the obtained second motion information, wherein the second reference picture index indicates the second reference picture within a reference picture list. 11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the first reconstructed sample corresponds to a high frequency component of the current block, and the second reconstructed sample corresponds to a low frequency component of the current block. 12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the filter comprises a Gaussian filter. 13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the filtered first reference sample is generated according to the following equation: L ⁡ ( x , y ) = 1 / 16 * ⁢ O ⁡ ( x - 1 , y - 1 ) + 1 / 8 * ⁢ O ⁡ ( x , y - 1 ) + 1 / 16 * ⁢ O
