METHOD AND APPARATUS OF SCALABLE VIDEO CODING

摘要

A method and apparatus for coding video data using Inter prediction mode or Merge mode in a video coding system are disclosed, where the video data is configured into a Base Layer (BL) and an Enhancement Layer (EL), and the EL has higher spatial resolution or better video quality than the BL. In one embodiment, at least one information piece of motion information associated with one or more BL blocks in the BL is identified. A motion vector prediction (MVP) candidate list or a Merge candidate list for the selected block in the EL is then determined, where said at least one information piece associated with said one or more BL blocks in the BL is included in the MVP candidate list or the Merge candidate list. The input data associated with the selected block is coded or decoded using the MVP candidate list or the Merge candidate list.
