Abstract:
An apparatus for coding video information according to certain aspects includes a memory and a processor. The memory unit is configured to store video information associated with an enhancement layer (EL) and a corresponding reference layer (RL). The processor is configured to: code an EL picture in a current access unit (AU), the EL coded using a first standard that is different from a second standard that is used to code the RL, wherein the coding of the EL picture is based on information associated with a RL picture in the current access unit, the information associated with the RL picture provided by an external means and consisting of: (1) decoded sample values of the RL picture; (2) a representation format of the RL picture; and (3) an indication of whether the RL picture is an instantaneous decoding refresh (IDR) picture.
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 having a first picture in a first access unit. The processor is configured to determine whether the first picture in the first access unit is an intra random access point (IRAP) picture, and in response to determining that the first picture in the first access unit is an IRAP picture, provide an indication, in a bitstream, to reset a picture order count (POC) of at least one other picture in the first access unit, wherein the at least one other picture is not an IRAP picture. 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 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 reference layer and an enhancement layer, the enhancement layer comprising an enhancement layer (EL) picture and the reference layer comprising a reference layer (RL) picture. The processor is configured to generate an inter-layer reference picture (ILRP) by resampling the RL picture; and determine whether, at a predetermined time, a reference picture of the ILRP was a short-term or long-term reference picture with respect to the ILRP. The processor may encode or decode the video information.
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:
In one embodiment, an apparatus configured to code video data includes a processor and a memory unit. The memory unit stores video data associated with a first layer having a first spatial resolution and a second layer having a second spatial resolution. The video data associated with the first layer includes at least a first layer block and first layer prediction mode information associated with the first layer block, and the first layer block includes a plurality of sub-blocks where each sub-block is associated with respective prediction mode data of the first layer prediction mode information. The processor derives the predication mode data associated with one of the plurality of sub-blocks based at least on a selection rule, upsamples the derived prediction mode data and the first layer block, and associates the upsampled prediction mode data with each upsampled sub-block of the upsampled first layer block.
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.
Abstract:
A video coder codes a slice header for a slice of video data. The slice header includes a syntax element comprising identifying information for a long term reference picture, wherein the identifying information is explicitly signaled in the slice header or derived from a sequence parameter set corresponding to the slice. When the syntax element indicates that the identifying information for the long term reference picture is explicitly signaled, to code the slice header, the video coder is further configured to code a value for the identifying information for the long term reference picture in the slice header.
Abstract:
In one example, a video coder (e.g., a video encoder or a video decoder) is configured to determine that a current block of video data is coded using a disparity motion vector, wherein the current block is within a containing block, based on a determination that a neighboring block to the current block is also within the containing block, substitute a block outside the containing block and that neighbors the containing block for the neighboring block in a candidate list, select a disparity motion vector predictor from one of a plurality of blocks in the candidate list, and code the disparity motion vector based on the disparity motion vector predictor. In this manner, the techniques of this disclosure may allow blocks within the containing block to be coded in parallel.
