1. An apparatus for inter prediction of a current coding block of a picture, wherein the apparatus comprises:
a processing circuitry configured for:
obtaining a value of a parameter for the current coding block, wherein the value of the parameter indicates a partition depth of the current coding block; and
performing an inter prediction process for the current coding block;
wherein no Motion Vector Predictor candidate comprising a motion vector of a coded block of the picture that is not spatially adjacent to the current coding block for the current coding block is used in the inter prediction process or a merge mode inter prediction process comprised in the inter prediction process, when the value of the parameter for the current coding block is greater than a threshold.
