Abstract
The present invention relates to the encoding and decoding of image information. According to the present invention, the decoding method comprises the steps of: entropy-decoding received information; performing inter prediction on a current block based on the entropy-decoded information; and restoring images by using the prediction results, wherein, in the inter prediction step, a skip mode or merge mode is applied to the current block and movement information of the current block may be determined based on the movement information of a neighboring block of the current block.

16. A decoding method for an inter prediction, the method comprising:
-
receiving, by a decoding apparatus, inter prediction mode information and merge index information for a current block; determining, by the decoding apparatus, a merge mode is used as an inter prediction mode for the current block based on the inter prediction mode information; configuring, by the decoding apparatus, merge candidates including spatial merge candidates and a temporal merge candidate based on spatial neighboring blocks and a temporal neighboring block of the current block, wherein the temporal neighboring block is located in a collocated picture; selecting, by the decoding apparatus, a merge candidate from the configured merge candidates for the merge mode based on the merge index information; deriving, by the decoding apparatus, motion information of the current block based on motion information for the selected merge candidate, wherein the motion information of the current block includes a motion vector and a reference picture index; and generating, by the decoding apparatus, prediction samples of the current block using the motion vector and a reference picture indicated by the reference picture index, wherein motion information for a spatial merge candidate is derived from motion information of a spatial neighboring block of the current block, wherein a motion vector for the temporal merge candidate is derived from a motion vector of the temporal neighboring block, wherein a reference picture index for the temporal merge candidate is set equal to 0 regardless of any of values of reference picture indexes of the spatial neighboring blocks and the temporal neighboring block, and wherein the spatial neighboring block includes a left neighboring block, a bottom left neighboring block, a top left neighboring block, a top neighboring block and a top right neighboring block of the current block. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
