Abstract
In a method, coded information of a current block and neighboring blocks of the current block in a current picture is received from a coded video bitstream. A list of merge candidates of the current block is generated based on the neighboring blocks of the current block. The list of merge candidates of the current block is divided into a plurality of subgroups. Each of the plurality of subgroups includes one or more merge candidates. The one or more merge candidates are ordered within each subgroup by a respective template matching (TM) cost associated with each of the one or more merge candidates. The current block is reconstructed based on a merge candidate selected from the list of merge candidates of the current block.
