METHOD AND DEVICE FOR ENCODING/DECODING IMAGE SIGNALS Russian patent published in 2024 - IPC H04N19/109 H04N19/503 H04N19/119 

FIELD: data processing.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to video encoding and decoding. Disclosed is a method of decoding images, which includes steps of: obtaining a candidate for merging a current block from a neighbouring block of the current block; adding the obtained merge candidate to the merge candidate list; when the number of merge candidates previously added to the merge candidate list is less than the threshold value, adding at least one prediction region merging candidate included in the prediction region motion information table to the merge candidate list; obtaining movement information on the current block based on the list of candidates for merging; and performing motion compensation with respect to the current block based on the obtained motion information.

EFFECT: high coding efficiency.
