1. An image decoding method performed by an image decoding apparatus, the method comprising:
splitting a first coding block into a plurality of second coding blocks according to a tree-based split structure, wherein the tree-based split structure includes a triple-tree split structure;
splitting a second coding block into two sub-regions based on block split type information;
determining motion information of a current sub-region among the two sub-regions from one of a plurality of merging candidates; and
generating a prediction signal of the current sub-region based on the motion information,
wherein a spatial neighboring merging candidate belonging to the plurality of merging candidates includes at least one of a left neighboring block, a bottom-left neighboring block, a top-left neighboring block, a top neighboring block or a top-right neighboring block,
wherein when the plurality of merging candidates includes the left neighboring block, the bottom-left neighboring block, the top neighboring block and the top-right neighboring block, the top-left neighboring block is not added to the plurality of merging candidates, and
wherein when the second coding block is split into the two sub-regions in horizontal direction according to the block split type information and the current sub-region is one of the two sub-regions, a number of the merging candidates available for motion compensation of the current sub-region among the two sub-regions is less than a number of merging candidates available for motion compensation of the other one of the two sub-regions.
