An example video coding device is configured to determine a depth value associated with a block of video data included in a dependent depth view, based on one or more neighboring pixels positioned adjacent to the block of video data in the dependent depth view, and generate a disparity vector associated with the block of video data, based at least in part on the determined depth value associated with the block of video data. The video coding device may further be configured to use the disparity vector to generate an inter-view disparity motion vector candidate (IDMVC), generate an inter-view predicted motion vector candidate (IPMVC) associated with the block of video data based on a corresponding block of video data in a base view, and determine whether to add any of the IDMVC and the IPMVC to a merge candidate list associated with the block of video data.
