Abstract
A method of decoding a coded video bitstream implemented by a video decoder is disclosed. The method includes determining that a coded video sequence (CVS) of the coded video bitstream includes a video coding layer (VCL) network abstraction layer (NAL) unit having a gradual decoding refresh (GDR) network abstraction layer (NAL) unit type (GDR_NUT), the VCL NAL unit having the GDR_NUT containing a GDR picture; initiating decoding of the CVS at the GDR picture; and generating an image according to the CVS as decoded. A corresponding method of encoding is also disclosed.

A method of decoding a coded video bitstream implemented by a video decoder, comprising:
- receiving, by the video decoder, the coded video bitstream, wherein the coded video bitstream comprises a coded video sequence (CVS) including a gradual decoding refresh (GDR) access unit, wherein the GDR access unit contains a plurality of video coding layer (VCL) network abstraction layer (NAL) units for a GDR picture, each of the plurality of VCL NAL units for the GDR picture has a GDR NAL unit type (GDR_NUT);
- and
- starting, by the video decoder, decoding of the CVS from the GDR picture, wherein the GDR picture has a temporal identifier (ID) equal to zero, and wherein the GDR picture is a first picture in the CVS or a GDR period.
A method of encoding a video bitstream implemented by a video encoder, the method comprising:
- obtaining, by the video encoder, a gradual decoding refresh (GDR) picture for a coded video sequence (CVS);
- encoding, by the video encoder, the GDR picture into a GDR access unit containing a plurality of video coding layer (VCL) network abstraction layer (NAL) units for the GDR picture, having a GDR NAL unit type (GDR_NUT) for the video sequence;
- and
- generating, by the video encoder, a bitstream containing the CVS having the plurality of the VCL NAL units with the GDR_NUT, wherein the GDR picture has a temporal identifier (ID) equal to zero, and wherein the GDR picture is a first picture in the CVS or a GDR period.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon a computer program causing a processor to execute a method of deriving a coded video bitstream, wherein the coded video bitstream comprises a coded video sequence (CVS) including a gradual decoding refresh (GDR) access unit, wherein the GDR access unit contains a plurality of video coding layer (VCL) network abstraction layer (NAL) units for a GDR picture, each of the plurality of VCL NAL units for the GDR picture has a GDR NAL unit type (GDR_NUT), wherein the GDR picture has a temporal identifier (ID) equal to zero, and wherein the GDR picture is a first picture in the CVS or a GDR period.
