HEVC implements a candidate vector list for merge and skip modes. The construction of this list has been extensively studied in the JCT-VC group (see for instance JCTVC-G039). It has been shown in JCTVC-I0293 that it is possible to improve the HEVC coding performance by adding in the merge list copies of the first candidate shifted by an arbitrary offset. The same basis is considered in this document and applied to disparity compensation. A gain of 0.3 % is obtained on average on side views
