Abstract:
An apparatus configured to code 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 first video layer and a second video layer. The processor is configured to process a first instance of a parameter set in a bitstream, the first instance of the parameter set comprising a first indication that the first video layer and the second video layer may utilize the parameter set, and process a second instance of the parameter set in the bitstream, the second instance of the parameter set comprising a second indication: (1) that the second video layer may utilize the parameter set, and (2) that the first video layer may not utilize the parameter set. The processor may encode or decode the video information.
Abstract:
An apparatus configured to code 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 (BL) and an enhancement layer (EL), the BL having a BL picture in a first access unit, and the EL having an EL picture in the first access unit. The BL picture may be associated with a flag. The processor is configured to determine a value of the flag associated with the BL picture, and perform, based on the value of the flag, one of (1) removing one or more EL pictures in a decoded picture buffer (DPB) without outputting the one or more EL pictures before the EL picture is coded, or (2) refraining from removing the one or more EL pictures in the DPB without outputting the one or more EL pictures. The processor may encode or decode the video information.
Abstract:
An apparatus for coding video information according to certain aspects includes computing hardware. The computing hardware is configured to: identify a current picture to be predicted using at least one type of inter layer prediction (ILP), the type of ILP comprising one or more of inter layer motion prediction (ILMP) or inter layer sample prediction (ILSP); and control: (1) a number of pictures that may be resampled and used to predict the current picture using ILMP and (2) a number of pictures that may be resampled and used to predict the current picture using ILSP, wherein the computing hardware is configured to control the number of pictures that may be resampled and used to predict the current picture using ILMP independent of the number of pictures that may be resampled and used to predict the current picture using ILSP.
Abstract:
In one implementation, an apparatus is provided for encoding or decoding video information. The apparatus comprises a memory unit configured to store reference layer pictures associated with a reference layer, an enhancement layer, or both. The apparatus further comprises a processor operationally coupled to the memory unit. In one embodiment, the processor is configured to restrict usage of at most one reference layer pictures that has a different spatial resolution than a current picture as an inter-layer reference picture, and predict the current picture using inter-layer prediction and the inter-layer reference picture.
Abstract:
The techniques of this disclosure may be generally related to reference statues of pictures. The techniques may store the reference status information of reference pictures of a picture, at an instance when the picture is being coded. The techniques may then utilize the reference status information of the reference pictures of the picture, at the instance when the picture was coded, to inter-predict video blocks of a subsequent picture.
Abstract:
A device determines, based at least in part on a syntax element in a scalable nesting supplemental enhancement information (SEI) message encapsulated by an SEI Network Abstraction Layer (NAL) unit, whether a nested SEI message encapsulated by the scalable nesting SEI message is applicable to a default sub-bitstream. The default sub-bitstream is an operation point representation of an operation point defined by a layer identifier specified in a NAL unit header of the SEI NAL unit and a temporal identifier specified in the NAL unit header. When the nested SEI message is applicable to the default sub-bitstream, the device uses the nested SEI message in an operation on the default sub-bitstream.
Abstract:
A device performs a hypothetical reference decoder (HRD) operation that determines conformance of a bitstream to a video coding standard or determines conformance of a video decoder to the video coding standard. As part of performing the HRD operation, the device determines a highest temporal identifier of a bitstream-subset associated with a selected operation point of the bitstream. Furthermore, as part of the HRD operation, the device determines, based on the highest temporal identifier, a particular syntax element from among an array of syntax elements. The device then uses the particular syntax element in the HRD operation.
Abstract:
In some examples, a video encoder includes multiple sequence parameter set (SPS) IDs in an SEI message, such that multiple active SPSs can be indicated to a video decoder. In some examples, a video decoder activates a video parameter set (VPS) and/or one or more SPSs through referencing an SEI message, e.g., based on the inclusion of the VPS ID and one or more SPS IDs in the SEI message. The SEI message may be, as examples, an active parameter sets SEI message or a buffering period SEI message.
Abstract:
A device performs a decoding process as part of a bitstream conformance test. As part of the decoding process, the device performs a bitstream extraction process to extract, from a bitstream, an operation point representation of an operation point defined by a target set of layer identifiers and a target highest temporal identifier. The target set of layer identifiers contains values of layer identifier syntax elements present in the operation point representation, the target set of layer identifiers being a subset of values of layer identifier syntax elements of the bitstream. The target highest temporal identifier is equal to a greatest temporal identifier present in the operation point representation, the target highest temporal identifier being less than or equal to a greatest temporal identifier present in the bitstream. The device decodes network abstraction layer (NAL) units of the operation point representation.
Abstract:
A video decoder may be configured to decode a first value representative of a difference between a base most significant bits (MSBs) value of a picture order count (POC) value of a current picture of video data and a first MSBs value of a first POC value of a first long-term reference picture of the video data, decode a second value representative of a difference between a second MSBs value of a second POC value of a second long-term reference picture of the video data and the first MSBs value, wherein the first POC value and the second POC value have different least significant bits values, and decode at least a portion of a current picture of the video data relative to at least one of the first long-term reference picture and the second long-term reference picture.
