There are provided methods and apparatus for context dependent merging for SKIP/DIRECT modes for video encoding and decoding. An apparatus includes an encoder for joint coding partitions of an image region using frame partitioning and a partition merging procedure, wherein any given one of the partitions that use a coding mode with implicit coding rules is subject to being merged, with another one of the partitions, using a distinct merging rule different than that used for a coding mode with explicit coding rules. |
