Abstract:
A method for video coding using a merge mode by a decoder or encoder. An embodiment of the method includes receiving a current block having a block size, setting a grid pattern based on the block size of the current block, wherein the grid pattern partitions a search region adjacent to the current block into search blocks, and a size of the search blocks is determined according to the block size of the current block, and searching for one or more spatial merge candidates from candidate positions in the search blocks to construct a candidate list that includes the one or more spatial merge candidates.

Claim (Index 16):
The apparatus of  claim 13 , wherein the search region includes a first set of candidate positions as defined in the high efficiency video coding (HEVC) standard in search blocks of a first neighborhood adjacent to the current block, and the candidate positions, from which the one or more spatial merge candidates are searched for, are extended, left-wards, top-wards and left-top-wards with respect to the first set of candidate positions at the left, top and left-top of the current block, respectively, from the first neighborhood adjacent to the current block to neighborhoods that are non-adjacent to the current block, and are a search block away from the current block.
