A coding efficiency increase is achieved by using a common signalization within the bitstream with regard to activation of merging and activation of the skip mode. One possible state of one or more syntax elements within the bitstream may signalize for a current sample set of a picture that the sample set is to be merged and has no prediction residual encoded and inserted into the bitstream. A common flag may signalize whether the coding parameters associated with a current sample set are to be set according to a merge candidate or to be retrieved from the bitstream, and whether the current sample set of the picture is to be reconstructed based on a prediction signal depending on the coding parameters associated with the current sample set, without any residual data, or to be reconstructed by refining the prediction signal depending on the coding parameters associated with the current sample set by means of residual data within the bitstream.

The invention discloses a method and apparatus for determining inter-frame coding modes, which compares the rate-distortion function cost of the skip mode with the presupposition current value of the first threshold. If the rate-distortion function cost of the skip mode is smaller than the current first threshold, then the skip mode is determined to be the optimal mode under the inter-frame prediction mode; otherwise, the optimal mode under the inter-frame prediction mode is determined from the other modes under the inter-frame prediction mode, the rate-distortion function cost of which is subsequently compared with the presupposition current value of the second threshold. If the rate-distortion function cost of the optimal mode under the inter prediction mode is smaller than the current second threshold, then the optimal mode is determined to be the inter-frame coding mode; otherwise, the smallest one among the optimal modes under the intra prediction mode and the optimal modes under the intra prediction mode is determined to be the inter-frame coding mode. The invention has no need of calculating the rate-distortion function cost of all the modes, thus reducing the calculation work and enhancing the coding speed.
