Abstract:
A video coding device configured according to some aspects of this disclosure includes a memory configured to store an initial list of motion vector candidates and a temporal motion vector predictor (TMVP). The video coding device also includes a processor in communication with the memory. The processor is configured to obtain a merge candidate list size value (N) and identify motion vector candidates to include in a merge candidate list having a list size equal to the merge candidate list size value. The merge candidate list may be a merge motion vector (MV) candidate list or a motion vector predictor (MVP) candidate list (also known as an AMVP candidate list). The processor generates the merge candidate list such that the merge candidate list includes the TMVP, regardless of the list size.
