Abstract: A method for inter prediction of a current geometric partition of a coding block includes, when the coding block is enabled for a geometric partition merge mode, generating a merge candidate list for the coding block partitioned into two geometric partitions including the current geometric partition. The merge candidate list generation comprises deriving one or more spatial merge candidates from neighboring coding units, and directly or immediately deriving one or more temporal motion vector predictions (MVPs). An uni-prediction MV is derived as a motion vector of the current geometric partition based on the merge candidate list. The current geometric partition of the coding block is predicted based on the uni-prediction MV to obtain a predicted value of the current geometric partition.
