## Abstract

According to the present invention, there is provided A method of encoding a three-dimensional (3D) image, the method comprising: determining a prediction mode for a current block as an inter prediction mode; determining whether a reference block corresponding to the current block in a reference picture has motion information; when the reference block has the motion information, deriving motion information on the current block for each sub prediction block in the current block; and deriving a prediction sample for the current block based on the motion information on the current block.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method of decoding an image, the method comprising:
deriving motion information of a current block; and
deriving a prediction sample for the current block based on the motion information of the current block,
wherein the deriving motion information of the current block comprises:
determining whether a center sub block within a reference block has motion information;
when the center sub block within the reference block has motion information, deriving motion information of sub blocks within the current block from sub blocks within the reference block; and
when the center sub block within the reference block does not have motion information, terminating the deriving motion information of sub blocks within the current block from sub blocks within the reference block,
wherein the center sub block corresponds to a center position of the current block, and
wherein the motion information includes at least a motion vector.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the deriving motion information of sub blocks within the current block comprises:
determining whether a sub block within the reference block has motion information, the sub block within the reference block corresponding to a current sub block within the current block;
when the sub block within the reference block has motion information, deriving motion information of the current sub block within the current block from the sub block within the reference block; and
when the sub block within the reference block does not have motion information, deriving motion information of the current sub block within the current block from the center sub block within the reference block.

### Claim 3

A method of encoding an image, the method comprising:
determining motion information of a current block; and
encoding the motion information of the current block,
wherein the deriving motion information of the current block comprises:
determining whether a center sub block within a reference block has motion information;
when the center sub block within the reference block has motion information, deriving motion information of sub blocks within the current block from sub blocks within the reference block; and
when the center sub block within the reference block does not have motion information, terminating the deriving motion information of sub blocks within the current block from sub blocks within the reference block,
wherein the center sub block corresponds to a center position of the current block, and
wherein the motion information includes a motion vector.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The method of claim 3, wherein the deriving motion information of sub prediction blocks within the current block comprises:
determining whether the sub block within the reference block has motion information, the sub block within the reference block corresponding to a current sub block within the current block;
when the sub block within the reference block has motion information, deriving motion information of the current sub block within the current block from the sub block within the reference block; and
when the sub block within the reference block does not have motion information, deriving motion information of the current sub block within the current block from the center sub block within the reference block.

### Claim 5

A non-transitory computer readable recording medium storing a bitstream formed by a method of encoding an image, the method comprising:
deriving motion information of a current block; and
deriving a prediction sample for the current block based on the motion information of the current block,
wherein the deriving motion information of the current block comprises:
determining whether a center sub block within a reference block has motion information;
when the center sub block within the reference block has motion information, deriving motion information of sub blocks within the current block from sub blocks within the reference block; and
when the center sub block within the reference block does not have motion information, terminating the deriving motion information of sub blocks within the current block from sub blocks within the reference block,
wherein the center sub block corresponds to a center position of the current block, and
wherein the motion information includes a motion vector.
