Abstract
Decoding a multiview video signal comprises: receiving a bitstream comprising encodings of multiple views of the multiview video signal, each view comprising multiple pictures segmented into multiple segments; and obtaining a predictor for illumination compensation of a first segment with respect to a reference picture using an offset value for illumination compensation of at least one neighboring segment adjacent to the first segment according whether the reference picture associated with the first segment is the same as a reference picture associated with the neighboring segment.
Claims8
A method for decoding multi-view video data in a multi-view video data stream, comprising:
- obtaining, by a decoding apparatus, inter-view prediction structure information from a sequence header in the multi-view video data stream,
- the inter-view prediction structure information including number information and view identification information of a random access picture, the number information indicating a total number of views in the multi-view video data, the view identification information providing a view identifier of each reference view in the multi-view video data,
- all slices in the random access picture referring only slices having a same temporal position and being in a different view of the multi-view video data;
- determining, by the decoding apparatus, a reference picture list of a current slice for inter-view prediction using the view identification information of the random access picture;
- determining, by the decoding apparatus, a prediction value of a macroblock in the current slice based on the determined reference picture list for inter-view prediction;
- and
- decoding, by the decoding apparatus, the macroblock in the current slice using the prediction value,
- wherein the multi-view video data includes video data of a base view and an ancillary view, the base view indicating a view being decoded independently of other views without using inter-view prediction, the ancillary view being a view other than the base view.
An apparatus for decoding multi-view video data in a multi-view video data stream, comprising:
- a Network Abstraction Layer parsing unit for obtaining inter-view prediction structure information from a sequence header in the multi-view video data stream,
- the inter-view prediction structure information including number information and view identification information of a random access picture, the number information indicating a total number of views in the multi-view video data, the view identification information providing a view identifier of each reference view in the multi-view video data,
- all slices in the random access picture referring only slices having a same temporal position and being in a different view of the multi-view video data;
- a decoded picture buffer unit for determining a reference picture list of a current slice for inter-view prediction using the view identification information of the random access picture;
- and
- an inter-prediction unit for determining a prediction value of a macroblock in the current slice based on the determined reference picture list for inter-view prediction, and decoding the macroblock in the current slice using the prediction value,
- wherein the multi-view video data includes video data of a base view and an ancillary view, the base view indicating a view being decoded independently of other views without using inter-view prediction, the ancillary view being a view other than the base view.
