Abstract:
Aspects of the disclosure provide methods and apparatuses for video decoding. In some embodiments, an apparatus for video decoding includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry decodes prediction information for a block in a current coded picture that is a part of a coded video sequence. The prediction information is indicative of a merge mode. Then, the processing circuitry constructs, in response to the merge mode, a candidate list of candidate motion vector predictors for the block. The candidate list includes one or more first candidates that are corner neighbors of the block. Then, the processing circuitry determines whether different parts of the block have different motion vector predictors. When it is determined that the different parts of the block have different motion vector predictors, the processing circuitry inserts at least one second merge candidate that is a side neighbor of the block into the merge candidate list and reconstructs the block according to the motion vector predictors in the merge candidate list.

Claim (Index 10):
The method of  claim 9 , further comprising:\n setting up a reference cost for the decoder side motion vector derivation methods; performing decoder side motion vector derivation methods on the merge candidates in the merge candidate list; comparing the costs of the merge candidates with the reference cost; determining whether difference between the cost of each merge candidate and the reference cost is higher than a cost threshold; and removing a merge candidate from the merge candidate list, when it is determined that the difference between the cost of the merge candidate and the reference cost is higher than the cost threshold.
