1. A decoder for reconstructing a block of a depth map associated with a texture picture from a data stream, configured to:
determine a texture threshold based on an operation performed on sample values of a reference block of a texture picture,
determine a partitioning of the reference block of the texture picture based on the texture threshold;
obtain a partition of a block of a depth map such that the block of the depth map is segmented into two portions based on the partitioning of the reference block of the texture picture; and
reconstruct the block of the depth map by decoding the two portions associated with the partition of the block of the depth map.
