Abstract

A method of decoding an image, including obtaining a motion vector of a current block; obtaining a preliminary prediction block based on a reference block indicated by the motion vector in a reference image; obtaining a final prediction block for the current block by applying, to a neural network, at least one of a picture order count (POC) map including a POC difference between the reference image and a current image including the current block, the preliminary prediction block, and a quantization error map; and reconstructing the current block based on the final prediction block and a residual block obtained from a bitstream, wherein sample values of the quantization error map are calculated based on a quantization parameter for the reference block.
