Method and apparatus for unifying adjacent merge candidates and non-adjacent merge candidates
An apparatus for video decoding includes receiving circuitry and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry decodes prediction information for a current block in a current picture from a coded video bitstream, the prediction information being indicative of a prediction mode that is based on an expanded motion vector candidate list. The processing circuitry expands the current block to generate an expanded block by iteratively (i) increasing a width of the current block by a first grid size and (ii) increasing a height of the current block by a second grid size until a number of iterations is equal to a value indicative of a maximum search round. The processing circuitry searches and locates, in the expanded block, a plurality of blocks and constructs, in response to the prediction mode, the expanded motion vector candidate list.
