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 12):
The method of  claim 1 , comprising:\n signaling one of the following syntax elements from the encoder in sequence level, picture level, or slice level: a first syntax element indicating an offset with respect to the current block for defining the search region, wherein an x coordinate and y coordinate of a top-left corner sample of the search region are equal with each other, and take the value of the offset; a second syntax element indicating the size of the search blocks having a square shape; a third syntax element indicating a pruning threshold; a fourth syntax element and a fifth syntax element indicating an x direction offset and a y direction offset with respect to the current block for defining the search region, wherein the x coordinate and y coordinate of the top-left corner sample of the search region are not equal with each other, and take the values of the x direction offset and y direction offset, respectively; or a sixth syntax element and a seventh syntax element indicating a width and a height of the search blocks having a rectangle shape.
