Field: Audio-visual technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 2:
3. A video encoding method comprising:
obtaining a first triangular prediction unit and a second triangular prediction unit according to a coding block;
deriving a merge candidate list for the coding block;
deriving first motion information for the first triangular prediction unit from a merge candidate, and deriving second motion information for the second triangular prediction unit from another merge candidate; wherein the merge candidate is determined based on first index information and a first merge candidate in the merge candidate list, and the another merge candidate is determined based on second index information and a second merge candidate in the merge candidate list, and the second merge candidate is different from the first merge candidate;
encoding the first index information and the second index information, wherein when an index of the second merge candidate of the second triangular prediction unit is equal to or greater than an index of the first merge candidate of the first triangular prediction unit, the second index information is encoded using a value obtained by adding 1 to the index of the second merge candidate of the second triangular prediction unit; and
obtaining a prediction sample in the coding block based on the first motion information and the second motion information,
wherein a maximum number of merge candidates that the merge candidate list includes is determined based on whether the first triangular prediction unit and the second triangular prediction unit are obtained.
