Abstract
Aspects of the disclosure provide methods and apparatuses for video encoding/decoding. In some examples, an apparatus for video decoding includes receiving circuitry and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry decodes prediction information of a current block from a coded video bitstream. The prediction information is indicative of a subset of inter prediction modes associated with a merge flag being false. Then, the processing circuitry decodes at least an additional flag that is used for selecting a specific inter prediction mode from the subset of inter prediction modes. Further, the processing circuitry reconstructs samples of the current block according to the specific inter prediction mode.
