Abstract

An image decoding method performed by a decoding apparatus according to the present disclosure comprises the steps of: decoding, on the basis of a bitstream, an affine flag that indicates whether affine prediction is applicable to a current block and a sub-block TMVP flag that indicates whether a temporal motion vector predictor based on a sub-block of the current block is usable; determining whether to decode a predetermined merge mode flag that indicates whether to apply a predetermined merge mode to the current block, on the basis of the decoded affine flag and the decoded sub-block TMVP flag; deriving prediction samples of the current block on the basis of the determining of whether to decode the predetermined merge mode flag; and generating reconstructed samples of the current block based on the prediction samples of the current block.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A decoding apparatus for an image decoding, the decoding apparatus comprising:
a memory; and at least one processor connected to the memory, the at least one processor configured to: receive image information including affine enabled flag information and sub-block temporal motion vector prediction enabled flag information; receive specific flag information related to whether a sub-block based specific merge mode is applied to a current block; determine whether to receive a specific merge index for the sub-block based specific merge mode based on the specific flag information, the affine enabled flag information and the sub-block temporal motion vector prediction enabled flag information; derive a prediction sample for the current block by applying inter prediction to the current block based on the specific flag information; and generate a reconstructed sample based on the prediction sample, wherein the specific flag information is received based on: determining whether to receive the specific flag information based on at least one of the affine enabled flag information or the sub-block temporal motion vector prediction enabled flag information, and receiving the specific flag information based on the result of the determining whether to receive the specific flag information, wherein based on a case that a value of the specific flag information is equal to 1, a value of the affine enabled flag information is equal to 0 and a value of the sub-block temporal motion vector prediction enabled flag information is equal to 1, it is determined that the specific merge index is not received, and wherein the sub-block temporal motion vector prediction enabled flag information is configured in a sequence parameter set.

2 . An encoding apparatus for an image encoding, the encoding apparatus comprising:
a memory; and at least one processor connected to the memory, the at least one processor configured to: derive affine enabled flag information and sub-block temporal motion vector prediction enabled flag information; derive a prediction sample for a current block by applying inter prediction to the current block; derive specific flag information related to whether a sub-block based specific merge mode is applied to the current block; determine whether to signal a specific merge index for the sub-block based specific merge mode based on the specific flag information, the affine enabled flag information and the sub-block temporal motion vector prediction enabled flag information; and encode image information including at least one of the affine enabled flag information, the sub-block temporal motion vector prediction enabled flag information, the specific flag information, or the specific merge index, wherein the specific flag information is derived based on: determining whether to signal the specific flag information based on at least one of the affine enabled flag information or the sub-block temporal motion vector prediction enabled flag information, and deriving the specific flag information based on the result of the determining whether to signal the specific flag information, wherein based on a case that a value of the specific flag information is equal to 1, a value of the affine enabled flag information is equal to 0 and a value of the sub-block temporal motion vector prediction enabled flag information is equal to 1, it is determined that the specific merge index is not signaled, and wherein the sub-block temporal motion vector prediction enabled flag information is configured in a sequence parameter set.

3 . An apparatus for transmitting data for an image, the apparatus comprising:
at least one processor configured to obtain a bitstream for the image, wherein the bitstream is generated based on deriving affine enabled flag information and sub-block temporal motion vector prediction enabled flag information, deriving a prediction sample for a current block by applying inter prediction to the current block, deriving specific flag information related to whether a sub-block based specific merge mode is applied to the current block, determining whether to signal a specific merge index for the sub-block based specific merge mode based on the specific flag information, the affine enabled flag information and the sub-block temporal motion vector prediction enabled flag information, and generating the bitstream by encoding image information including at least one of the affine enabled flag information, the sub-block temporal motion vector prediction enabled flag information, the specific flag information, or the specific merge index; and a transmitter configured to transmit the data comprising the bitstream, wherein the deriving the specific flag information comprises: determining whether to signal the specific flag information based on at least one of the affine enabled flag information or the sub-block temporal motion vector prediction enabled flag information, and deriving the specific flag information based on the result of the determining whether to signal the specific flag information, wherein based on a case that a value of the specific flag information is equal to 1, a value of the affine enabled flag information is equal to 0 and a value of the sub-block temporal motion vector prediction enabled flag information is equal to 1, it is determined that the specific merge index is not signaled, and wherein the sub-block temporal motion vector prediction enabled flag information is configured in a sequence parameter set.
