Abstract:
A favorable merging or grouping of simply connected regions into which the array of information samples is sub-divided, is coded with a reduced amount of data. To this end, a predetermined relative locational relationship is defined enabling an identifying, for a predetermined simply connected region, of simply connected regions within the plurality of simply connected regions which have the predetermined relative locational relationship to the predetermined simply connected region. Namely, if the number is zero, a merge indicator for the predetermined simply connected region may be absent within the data stream. In other embodiments, spatial sub-division is performed depending on a first subset of syntax elements, followed by combining spatially neighboring simply connected regions depending on a second subset of syntax elements, to obtain an intermediate sub-division.

Claim (Index 17):
An encoder for encoding arrays of information samples into a data stream, each array representing a picture into a data stream, the encoder comprising:\n a sub-divider configured for dividing an array of information samples into a plurality of regions; and a data stream generator configured for: encoding, into the data stream, a merge indicator with respect to a region currently being encoded within an array of information samples, wherein the region currently being encoded is one of a plurality of regions obtained by dividing the array of information samples and the merge indicator is indicative of whether the region currently being encoded is to be reconstructed based on at least one motion coding parameter determined based on a candidate motion coding parameter, encoding, into the data stream, a candidate identifier that identifies a candidate motion coding parameter from a set of candidate motion coding parameters, wherein if an indication is to copy, a motion vector of the candidate motion coding parameter is copied as a motion vector of the at least one motion coding parameter, and if the indication is to compute, the at least one motion coding parameter is computed based on the candidate motion coding parameter, which includes:\n determining a prediction of a motion vector of the at least one motion coding parameter based on a motion vector of the candidate motion coding parameter, and \n combining the prediction and a prediction residual of the motion vector of the at least one motion coding parameter to obtain the motion vector of the at least one motion coding parameter, and \n encoding, into the data stream, the motion vector of the at least one motion coding parameter and the prediction residual of the motion vector of the at least one motion coding parameter.
