Abstract
In one embodiment, a spatial merge mode for a block of video content may be used in merging motion parameters. Spatial merge parameters are considered and do not require utilization of bits or flags or indexing to signal at the encoder or decoder. If the spatial merge mode is determined, the method merges the block of video content with a spatially-located block, where merging shares motion parameters between the spatially-located block and the block of video content.
