Inter layer motion data inheritance

An apparatus, comprising:

• circuitry configured to access reference motion data associated with at least one reference layer picture, the reference layer picture comprising one of a plurality of pictures of a first layer of multi-layer video content, the decoder circuitry to perform inter-layer prediction for a current picture based at least in part on the reference motion data, wherein the current picture comprises one of a plurality of pictures of a second layer of the multi-layer video content, wherein the second layer is different than the first layer.

A method comprising:

• accessing reference motion data associated with at least one reference layer picture, the reference layer picture comprising one of a plurality of pictures of a first layer of multi-layer video content;
• and
• performing inter-layer prediction for a current picture based at least in part on the reference motion data, wherein the current picture comprises one of a plurality of pictures of a second layer of the multi-layer video content, wherein the second layer is different than the first layer.

At least one machine-readable medium comprising a plurality of instructions that in response to being executed on a computing device, cause the computing device to:

• access reference motion data associated with at least one reference layer picture, the reference layer picture comprising one of a plurality of pictures of a first layer of multi-layer video content;
• and
• perform inter-layer prediction for a current picture based at least in part on the reference motion data, wherein the current picture comprises one of a plurality of pictures of a second layer of the multi-layer video content, wherein the second layer is different than the first layer.
