Abstract:
Provided are a motion vector predicting method and an apparatus for encoding and decoding a video. The motion vector prediction method includes: determining, from neighboring blocks of the current block, a plurality of candidate blocks that are referred to so as to predict a motion vector of a current block; determining a candidate motion vector of a first candidate block among the determined plurality of candidate blocks, based on whether a reference image of the first candidate block and a reference image of the current block are long-term reference images; and determining the motion vector of the current block by using a candidate motion vector list including the determined candidate motion vector of the first candidate block and candidate motion vectors from remaining candidate blocks among the determined plurality of candidate blocks.

Claim (Index 1):
An apparatus for decoding an image, the apparatus comprising:\n at least one processor configure to: determine a collocated picture from among pictures restored before a current picture according to a collocated index; parse information about a long-term reference picture from a bitstream; when one of a reference picture of a collocated block included in the collocated picture and a reference picture of a current block is determined as a long-term reference picture, and the other one of the reference picture of the collocated block and the reference picture of the current block is determined as a short-term reference picture based on the information about the long-term reference picture, determine that a motion vector of the collocated block is un-available so that the motion vector of the collocated block is not used to predict a motion vector of the current block; when both of the reference picture of the collocated block and the reference picture of the current block are determined as long-term reference pictures based on the information about the long-term reference picture, obtain a temporal motion vector prediction candidate without scaling the motion vector of the collocated block; receive prediction information of a candidate block as prediction information of the current block that indicates the candidate block used to derive a motion vector predictor of the current block; determine the motion vector predictor of the current block from among motion vector prediction candidates, comprising the temporal motion vector prediction candidate, based on the prediction information of the candidate block; and generate the motion vector of the current block using the motion vector predictor, wherein the scaling is based on a ratio of a distance (Td) between the collocated picture and the reference picture of the collocated block and a distance (Tb) between the current picture and the reference picture of the current block.
