An electronic apparatus performs a method of coding video data. The method includes receiving, from a bitstream of the video data, a first syntax that indicates an affine motion model enabled for a current coding block, estimating parameters of the affine motion model using gradients of motion vectors of multiple spatial neighboring blocks of the current coding block, and constructing motion vectors of the affine motion model for the current coding block by using the estimated parameters. In some embodiments, constructing motion vectors further includes converting the estimated parameters into control point motion vectors (CPMVs), and adding the CPMVs into a current affine merge candidate list. In some embodiments, constructing motion vectors further includes deriving a motion vector predictor for an affine mode.

Disclosed are methods and apparatuses for image data encoding/decoding. A method for decoding a 360-degree image includes the steps of: 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; adding the generated prediction image to a residual image obtained by dequantizing and inverse-transforming the bitstream, so as to obtain a decoded image; and reconstructing the decoded image into a 360-degree image according to a projection format. Therefore, the performance of image data compression can be improved.
