Abstract

A method for decoding a 360-degree image includes: receiving a bitstream obtained by encoding a 360-degree image; generating a prediction image by making reference to syntax information obtained from the received bitstream; combining the generated prediction image with a residual image obtained by dequantizing and inverse-transforming the bitstream to obtain a decoded image; and reconstructing the decoded image into a 360-degree image according to a projection format. Generating the prediction image includes: obtaining, from motion information in the syntax information, a motion vector candidate group including a motion vector of a block adjacent to a current block to be decoded; deriving a prediction motion vector from the motion vector candidate group based on selection information extracted from the motion information; and determining a prediction block for the current block to be decoded, using a final motion vector derived by adding the prediction motion vector to a differential motion vector extracted from the motion information.
