Abstract
Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for video decoding that support a plurality of layers. The method for video decoding includes acquiring information indicating whether tile information exists and acquiring the tile information based on the information indicating whether tile information exists.
Claims3
A method for video decoding supporting a plurality of layers with a decoding apparatus, the method comprising:
- decoding, with the decoding apparatus, a tiles not in use flag from a bitstream;
- and
- decoding, with the decoding apparatus, a tile boundaries aligned flag from the bitstream based on the tile not in use flag,
- wherein the tile not in use flag indicates whether all pictures belonging to a video sequence to consist of a single tile,
- wherein the tile boundaries aligned flag indicates whether a current layer coincides with a reference layer in a boundary of the tile,
- wherein the tile not in use flag is signaled when VUI (Video Usability Information) is present in VPS (Video Parameter Set).
A method for video encoding supporting a plurality of layers with a encoding apparatus, the method comprising:
- determining, with the encoding apparatus, whether all pictures belonging to a video sequence to consist of a single tile;
- encoding, with the encoding apparatus, a tiles not in use flag based on the determination result;
- encoding, with the encoding apparatus, a tile boundaries aligned flag based on the tile not in use flag;
- and
- generating, with the encoding apparatus, a bitstream including at least one of the tiles not in use flag and the tile boundaries aligned flag,
- wherein the tile not in use flag indicates whether all pictures belonging to a video sequence to consist of a single tile,
- wherein the tile boundaries aligned flag indicates whether a current layer coincides with a reference layer in a boundary of the tile,
- wherein the tile not in use flag is signaled through VUI (Video Usability Information) in VPS (Video Parameter Set).
A computer readable recording medium for storing a bitstream, wherein the bitstream is generated by a method for video encoding supporting a plurality of layers with a encoding apparatus, the method comprising:
- determining, with the encoding apparatus, whether all pictures belonging to a video sequence to consist of a single tile;
- encoding, with the encoding apparatus, a tiles not in use flag based on the determination result;
- encoding, with the encoding apparatus, a tile boundaries aligned flag based on the tile not in use flag;
- and
- generating, with the encoding apparatus, the bitstream including at least one of the tiles not in use flag and the tile boundaries aligned flag,
- wherein the tile not in use flag indicates whether all pictures belonging to a video sequence to consist of a single tile,
- wherein the tile boundaries aligned flag indicates whether a current layer coincides with a reference layer in a boundary of the tile,
- wherein the tile not in use flag is signaled through VUI (Video Usability Information) in VPS (Video Parameter Set).
