Abstract
Disclosed is a method and apparatus for encoding/decoding a video. According to an embodiment, provided is a method of setting a level for each of one or more regions, including decoding a definition syntax element related to level definition and a designation syntax element related to target designation from a bitstream; defining one or more levels based on the definition syntax element; and setting a target level designated by the designation syntax element among the defined levels for a target region designated by the designation syntax element.
Claims12
An apparatus for decoding, from a bitstream, level information for each of a plurality of regions partitioned from each of pictures included in a video sequence, the level information being information for defining a level of decoding capability of the apparatus including maximum resolution up to which the apparatus is processible, the apparatus comprising a processor configured to:
- decode split information to identify each of the plurality of regions;
- and
- decode the level information for each of the plurality of regions identified by split information,
- wherein the processor is configured to decode the level information by performing processes comprising:
- decoding default level information for defining at least one default level;
- decoding a first flag indicating whether extra information is defined, wherein the extra information is associated with the default level information, and is used for setting a level corresponding to the region;
- decoding the extra information depending on the first flag;
- and
- setting the level corresponding to the region using the default level information and the extra information.
A video encoding apparatus for encoding, into a bitstream, level information for each of a plurality of regions partitioned from each of pictures included in a video sequence, the level information being information for defining a level of decoding capability of a video decoding apparatus including maximum resolution up to which the video decoding apparatus is processible, the video encoding apparatus comprising a processor configured to:
- encode split information for identifying each of the plurality of regions;
- and
- encode the level information for each of the plurality of regions,
- wherein the processor is configured to encode the level information by performing processes comprising:
- encoding default level information for defining at least one default level;
- encoding a first flag indicating whether extra information is defined, wherein the extra information is associated with the default level information, and is used for setting a level corresponding to the region;
- depending on the first flag, encoding the extra information such that the video decoding apparatus sets the level corresponding to the region using the default level information and the extra information.
A method for storing a bitstream containing level information for each of a plurality of regions partitioned from each of pictures included in a video sequence, the level information being information for defining a level of decoding capability of a video decoding apparatus including maximum resolution up to which the video decoding apparatus is processible, the method comprising:
- generating the bitstream, by encoding split information for identifying each of the plurality of regions and encoding the level information for each of the plurality of regions;
- and
- storing the bitstream in a non-transitory recording medium,
- wherein the encoding of the level information comprises:
- encoding a first flag indicating whether extra information is defined, and default level information for defining at least one default level,
- wherein the extra information is associated with the default level information, and is used for setting a level corresponding to the region;
- and
- depending on the first flag, encoding the extra information such that the video decoding apparatus sets the level corresponding to the region using the default level information and the extra information.
