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 19):
A non-transitory computer-readable medium for storing data associated with a video, comprising:\n a data stream stored in the non-transitory computer-readable medium, the data stream comprising encoded information including arrays of information samples each representing a picture at a resolution level, the data stream further comprising, a merge indicator with respect to a region currently being decoded within an array of information samples, wherein the region currently being decoded 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 decoded is to be reconstructed based on at least one coding parameter determined based on one or more coding parameters associated with a selected candidate region of the resolution level, identified with respect to the region; a candidate identifier that identifies a specific one of the set of candidate regions as the selected candidate region, if a number of candidate regions in the set is greater than one; and one or more coding parameter associated with the selected candidate region, from which the at least one coding parameter is copied or computed, determined based on the state of the merge indicator, and used to reconstruct the region.
