Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for setting a reference picture index of a temporal merging candidate. An inter-picture prediction method using a temporal merging candidate can include the steps of: determining a reference picture index for a current block; and inducing a temporal merging candidate block of the current block and calculating a temporal merging candidate from the temporal merging candidate block, wherein the reference picture index of the temporal merging candidate can be calculated regardless of whether a block other than the current block is decoded. Accordingly, a video processing speed can be increased and video processing complexity can be reduced.

Claim (Index 2):
A method for encoding a video signal comprising:\n deriving a spatial merging candidate by using a spatial neighboring block; deriving a temporal merging candidate by using a temporal neighboring block; generating a merging candidate list including the spatial merging candidate and the temporal merging candidate, determining a motion vector and a reference picture index of a current block by using the merging candidate list, and wherein the spatial neighboring block and the temporal neighboring block are determined based on: a position of a coding block, a size of a block on which a parallel merge processing is applicable, and a size of the coding block, and wherein the coding block includes the current block.
