This contribution proposes to use extended MVP candidate list for template matching in AMVP mode. Additional MVP candidates are generated by adding or subtracting an offset distance (k) in both horizontal and vertical directions from the initial MVP candidates. From the extended MVP candidate list which composed of the initial MVP candidates and the additional MVP candidates derived from the offset distance (k), an MVP candidate with the minimum TM cost is selected as the optimal MVP candidate to perform template matching. On top of ECM-4.0, simulation results of the proposed method are reported as below:
