An apparatus configured to code (e.g., encode or decode) video information includes a memory unit and a processor in communication with the memory unit. The memory unit is configured to store video information associated with a base layer and an enhancement layer. The processor is configured to up-sample a base layer reference block by using an up-sampling filter when the base and enhancement layers have different resolutions; perform motion compensation interpolation by filtering the up-sampled base layer reference block; determine base layer residual information based on the filtered up-sampled base layer reference block; determine weighted base layer residual information by applying a weighting factor to the base layer residual information; and determine an enhancement layer block based on the weighted base layer residual information. The processor may encode or decode the video information.
