Abstract:
This disclosure describes techniques for signaling and using an indication that video data is in a frame-packed stereoscopic 3D video data format. In one example of the disclosure, a method for decoding video data comprises receiving video data, receiving an indication that indicates whether any pictures in the received video data contain frame-packed stereoscopic 3D video data, and decoding the received video data in accordance with the received indication. The received video data may be rejected if the video decoder is unable to decode frame-packed stereoscopic 3D video data.
Abstract:
A video processing device can be configured to process one or more initial syntax elements for a parameter set associated with a video bitstream; receive in the parameter set an offset syntax element for the parameter set that identifies syntax elements to be skipped within the parameter set; and based on the offset syntax element, skip the syntax elements within the parameter set and process one or more additional syntax elements in the parameter set that are after the skipped syntax elements in the parameter set.
Abstract:
A video encoder generates a network abstraction layer (NAL) unit that includes at least a first syntax element and a second syntax element. The first syntax element indicates that the NAL unit belongs to a particular NAL unit type. Coded slices of texture view components and depth view components are encapsulated within NAL units that belong to the particular NAL unit type. The second syntax element indicates whether a NAL unit header of the NAL unit includes an Advanced Video Coding (AVC)-compatible 3-dimensional video (3DV) header extension or includes a Multiview Video Coding (MVC)-compatible 3DV header extension. The video encoder outputs a bitstream that includes the NAL unit. A video decoder receives the NAL unit and determines whether the second syntax element indicates that the NAL unit header of the NAL unit includes the AVC-compatible 3DV header extension or the MVC-compatible 3DV header extension.
Abstract:
In general, techniques are described for separately coding depth and texture components of video data. A video coding device for processing the video data comprising one or more processors may perform the techniques. The one or more processors may be configured to determine first sequence level information describing characteristics of the depth components, and determine second sequence level information describing characteristics of an operation point of the video data.
Abstract:
A video encoder generates a Network Abstraction Layer (NAL) unit that contains a plurality of encoded picture partitions of the video data. The video encoder generates a bitstream that includes a variable-length value that represents an entropy-encoded first syntax element, a variable-length value that represents an entropy-encoded second syntax element, and fixed-length values that represent offset syntax elements. Lengths of each of the offset syntax elements are determinable based on the first syntax element. A video decoder uses the first syntax element, the second syntax element, and the offset syntax elements when decoding the encoded picture partitions.
Abstract:
A video coding device, such as a video encoder or a video decoder, may be configured to code a parameter set group representing a first parameter set of a first type and a second parameter set of a second, different type, and code a slice of video data using information of the parameter set group, information of the first parameter set, and information of the second parameter set, wherein the slice includes information referring to the parameter set group. The video coding device may further code the first and second parameter sets.
Abstract:
Techniques are described related to receiving first and second sub-sequences of video, wherein the first sub-sequence includes one or more frames each having a first resolution, and the second sub-sequence includes one or more frames each having a second resolution, receiving a first sequence parameter set and a second sequence parameter set for the coded video sequence, wherein the first sequence parameter set indicates the first resolution of the one or more frames of the first sub-sequence, and the second sequence parameter set indicates the second resolution of the one or more frames of the second sub-sequence, and wherein the first sequence parameter set is different than the second sequence parameter set, and using the first sequence parameter set and the second sequence parameter set to decode the coded video sequence.
Abstract:
In one example, a video coder, such as a video encoder or video decoder, is configured to determine a number of least significant bits of picture identifying information for a picture of video data, determine a value of the picture identifying information for the picture, and code information indicative of the determined number of least significant bits of the value of the picture identifying information for the picture.
Abstract:
A video coder can select which reference pictures should be signaled in a parameter set such as a picture parameter set (PPS) and which reference pictures should be signaled in a slice header such that when a video decoder constructs a reference picture set, the video decoder does not need to reorder the reference picture set to construct an initial reference picture list for a slice of video data.
Abstract:
An apparatus configured to code video information includes a memory and a processor in communication with the memory. The memory is configured to store video information associated with a bitstream. The apparatus further includes a processor in communication with the memory, the processor configured to determine whether a reference layer is included in the bitstream. The processor is further configured to determine an indication of one or more parameters for a decoded picture buffer based upon whether the reference layer is included in the bitstream and to code the video information based at least in part on the determined indication of the one or more parameters for the decoded picture buffer.
