Abstract
According to an embodiment (embodiments) of the present document, multilayer-based coding may be executed. In the multilayer-based coding, a decoded picture based on a target output layer can be output, and, for example, the target output layer can be determined on the basis of an external means or signaled information. According to an embodiment according to the present document, image information acquired from a bitstream can include a specific NAL unit for scheduling target output layer-related information.
Claims14
An apparatus for decoding an image, the apparatus comprising:
- a memory configured to store the image;
- and
- a processor coupled with the memory,
- wherein the processor is configured to:
- obtain image information from a bitstream;
- obtain, based on an output layer set (OLS) index related flag, information on a target OLS index from a specific network abstraction layer (NAL) unit in the image information, wherein the OLS index related flag specifies whether the information on the target OLS index is present in the specific NAL unit;
- obtain information on a highest temporal identifier from the specific NAL unit in the image information;
- decode a picture belonging to a layer included in a target OLS for the target OLS index and being related to the highest temporal identifier;
- and
- output the decoded picture,
- wherein the specific NAL unit is different from a video parameter set (VPS) NAL unit,
- wherein based on the image information comprising an access unit (AU) that includes both an access unit delimiter (AUD) NAL unit and the specific NAL unit, the specific NAL unit is an initial NAL unit following the AUD NAL unit in the AU, and
- wherein based on the image information comprising an AU that includes the specific NAL unit and does not include the AUD NAL unit, the specific NAL unit is an initial NAL unit in the AU.

An apparatus for encoding an image, the apparatus comprising:
- a memory configured to store the image;
- and
- a processor coupled with the memory,
- wherein the processor is configured to:
- generate information on a target output layer set (OLS) index;
- generate information on a highest temporal identifier,
- generate, based on an OLS index related flag, a specific network abstraction layer (NAL) unit so that the information on the target OLS index is included in the specific NAL unit, wherein the OLS index related flag specifies whether the information on the target OLS index is present in the specific NAL unit, and wherein the specific NAL unit further includes the information on the highest temporal identifier;
- and
- encode image information including the specific NAL unit,
- wherein the specific NAL unit is different from a video parameter set (VPS) NAL unit,
- wherein, based on the image information comprising an access unit (AU) that includes both an access unit delimiter (AUD) NAL unit and the specific NAL unit, the specific NAL unit is an initial NAL unit following the AUD NAL unit in the AU, and
- wherein, based on the image information comprising an AU that includes the specific NAL unit and does not include the AUD NAL unit, the specific NAL unit is an initial NAL unit in the AU.
