Abstract
A bitstream including coded information of a current block and neighboring blocks of the current block in a current picture is received. Whether a merge mode is enabled for the current block is determined based on whether one or more of the neighboring blocks are coded by an intra template matching mode. When the merge mode is enabled for the current block, a merge candidate list that includes the one or more of the neighboring blocks of the current block is generated. A reference block vector is determined based on template matching information of a merge candidate selected from the merge candidate list. The reference block vector is refined to obtain a refined reference block vector for the current block. The current block is reconstructed based on a reference block indicated by the refined reference block vector.
