DMVR-based inter prediction method and apparatus

An image encoding method performed by an encoding apparatus, the image encoding method comprising:

• deriving an L0 motion vector and an L1 motion vector of a current block;
• deriving a minimum sum of absolute difference (SAD) based on the L0 motion vector and the L1 motion vector of the current block by applying a decoder-side motion vector refinement (DMVR) to the current block based on DMVR flag information;
• deriving a refined L0 motion vector and a refined L1 motion vector based on the minimum SAD;
• deriving prediction samples for the current block based on the refined L0 motion vector and the refined L1 motion vector;
• deriving residual samples based on the prediction samples;
• and
• encoding image information including information on the residual samples,
• wherein the DMVR flag information is related to whether to apply DMVR to the current block, and
• wherein based on a case where bi-prediction performed based on an L0 reference picture and an L1 reference picture is applied to the current block, a case where a distance between a current picture and the L0 reference picture is equal to a distance between the current picture and the L1 reference picture, a case where a value of L0 luma weight prediction flag information and a value of L1 luma weight prediction flag information are both equal to 0, a case where a value of L0 chroma weight prediction flag information and a value of L1 chroma weight prediction flag information are both equal to 0, a case where a value of bi-prediction weight index information is equal to 0, and a case where a height of the current block is greater than or equal to 8, the DMVR flag information related to applying the DMVR to the current block is derived.
