Abstract
According to embodiments according to the present document, merge mode motion vector differences (MMVD) and symmetric motion vector differences (SMVD) may be performed on the basis of reference picture types and, in particular, short-term reference pictures may be used. Accordingly, prediction performance and coding efficiency in an inter prediction mode may be increased.
