Abstract
A bitstream that includes visual media data is processed according to a format rule. The bitstream includes coding information for a current picture, the coding information indicating that a geometric merge mode is enabled for a coding level higher than a picture level of the current picture and a maximum number of merge candidates satisfies a condition. The format rule specifies that maximum number of geometric merge mode candidates information in the coding information indicates a maximum number of geometric merge mode merge candidates, the maximum number of geometric merge mode candidates information indicating a relation between the maximum number of geometric merge mode merge candidates and the maximum number of merge candidates. The maximum number of geometric merge mode merge candidates is determined by subtracting a value indicated by the maximum number of geometric merge mode candidates information from the maximum number of merge candidates.
