Claim:
1. A decoder configured for: extracting, from a data stream, first information associated with a first coding block in a first view of a multi-view signal, wherein the first information is indicative of whether the first coding block is to reuse one or more coding parameters from a second coding block located in a second view of the multi-view signal, receiving the one or more coding parameters, if the first information indicates that the first coding block is to reuse the one or more coding parameters from the second coding block in the second view, and reconstructing the first coding block in the first view based on the received one or more coding parameters from the second coding block in the second view, wherein the first and second coding blocks are independently reconstructed based on the one or more coding parameters, and the decoder is further configured for detecting an edge in the first coding block, when the first coding block corresponds to a depth/disparity coding block, to yield different sub-segments and the different sub-segments are reconstructed based on different sets of coding parameters in an inter-prediction mode.
