Claim:
1. A method for three-dimensional video coding and multi-view video coding, wherein reference pictures comprises reference pictures in a reference picture list 0 and reference pictures in a reference picture list 1 , wherein the reference picture list 0 and the reference picture list 1 are associated with different prediction directions, the method comprising: receiving input data associated with a current block in a dependent view, wherein the input data received at a video encoder side at least corresponds to one or more: of original pixel data or depth data associated with the current block, and wherein the input data received at a video decoder side comprises a video bitstream corresponding to compressed data including the current block; deriving a unified disparity vector (DV) based on at least one of: locating a single corresponding block in a reference view according to the unified DV by pointing from a position of the current block to a position in the reference view through the unified DV to locate the single corresponding block; deriving both list encoding the input data using prediction information comprising the inter-view MVP candidate or decoding the input data using the prediction information comprising the inter-view MVP candidate.
