In other words, “prediction” of the present disclosure is not limited to “intra prediction” and “intra prediction” may be proposed as an example of “prediction”. In addition, even when “prediction (that is, intra prediction)” is described, “intra prediction” may be proposed as an example of “prediction”.

The decoding apparatus 20 according to an embodiment may include a receiver 21, a decoding unit 22 and a renderer 23. The encoding unit 12 may be called a video/image encoding unit, and the decoding unit 22 may be called a video/image decoding unit. The transmitter 13 may be included in the encoding unit 12. The receiver 21 may be included in the decoding unit 22. The renderer 23 may include a display and the display may be configured as a separate device or an external component.
The video source generator 11 may acquire a video/image through a process of capturing, synthesizing or generating the video/image. The video source generator 11 may include a video/image capture device and/or a video/image generating device. The video/image capture device may include, for example, one or more cameras, video/image archives including previously captured video/images, and the like.

As shown in
All or at least some of the plurality of components configuring the image encoding apparatus 100 may be configured by one hardware component (e.g., an encoder or a processor) in some embodiments. In addition, the memory 170 may include a decoded picture buffer (DPB) and may be configured by a digital storage medium.
The image partitioner 110 may partition an input image (or a picture or a frame) input to the image encoding apparatus 100 into one or more processing units. For example, the processing unit may be called a coding unit (CU). The coding unit may be acquired by recursively partitioning a coding tree unit (CTU) or a largest coding unit (LCU) according to a quad-tree binary-tree ternary-tree (QT/BT/TT) structure. For example, one coding unit may be partitioned into a plurality of coding units of a deeper depth based on a quad tree structure, a binary tree structure, and/or a ternary structure. For partitioning of the coding unit, a quad tree structure may be applied first and the binary tree structure and/or ternary structure may be applied later. The coding procedure according to the present disclosure may be performed based on the final coding unit that is no longer partitioned. The largest coding unit may be used as the final coding unit or the coding unit of deeper depth acquired by partitioning the largest coding unit may be used as the final coding unit. Here, the coding procedure may include a procedure of prediction, transform, and reconstruction, which will be described later. As another example, the processing unit of the coding procedure may be a prediction unit (PU) or a transform unit (TU). The prediction unit and the transform unit may be split or partitioned from the final coding unit. The prediction unit may be a unit of sample prediction, and the transform unit may be a unit for deriving a transform coefficient and/or a unit for deriving a residual signal from the transform coefficient.
The predictor (the inter predictor 180 or the intra predictor 185) may perform prediction on a block to be processed (current block) and generate a predicted block including prediction samples for the current block. The predictor may determine whether intra prediction or inter prediction is applied on a current block or CU basis. The predictor may generate various information related to prediction of the current block and transmit the generated information to the entropy encoder 190. The information on the prediction may be encoded in the entropy encoder 190 and output in the form of a bitstream.
The intra predictor 185 may predict the current block by referring to the samples in the current picture. The referred samples may be located in the neighborhood of the current block or may be located apart according to the intra prediction mode and/or the intra prediction technique. The intra prediction modes may include a plurality of non-directional modes and a plurality of directional modes. The non-directional mode may include, for example, a DC mode and a planar mode. The directional mode may include, for example, 33 directional prediction modes or 65 directional prediction modes according to the degree of detail of the prediction direction. However, this is merely an example, more or less directional prediction modes may be used depending on a setting. The intra predictor 185 may determine the prediction mode applied to the current block by using a prediction mode applied to a neighboring block.
The inter predictor 180 may derive a predicted block for the current block based on a reference block (reference sample array) specified by a motion vector on a reference picture. In this case, in order to reduce the amount of motion information transmitted in the inter prediction mode, the motion information may be predicted in units of blocks, subblocks, or samples based on correlation of motion information between the neighboring block and the current block. The motion information may include a motion vector and a reference picture index. The motion information may further include inter prediction direction (L0 prediction, L1 prediction, Bi prediction, etc.) information. In the case of inter prediction, the neighboring block may include a spatial neighboring block present in the current picture and a temporal neighboring block present in the reference picture. The reference picture including the reference block and the reference picture including the temporal neighboring block may be the same or different. The temporal neighboring block may be called a collocated reference block, a co-located CU (colCU), and the like. The reference picture including the temporal neighboring block may be called a collocated picture (colPic). For example, the inter predictor 180 may configure a motion information candidate list based on neighboring blocks and generate information indicating which candidate is used to derive a motion vector and/or a reference picture index of the current block. Inter prediction may be performed based on various prediction modes. For example, in the case of a skip mode and a merge mode, the inter predictor 180 may use motion information of the neighboring block as motion information of the current block. In the case of the skip mode, unlike the merge mode, the residual signal may not be transmitted. In the case of the motion vector prediction (MVP) mode, the motion vector of the neighboring block may be used as a motion vector predictor, and the motion vector of the current block may be signaled by encoding a motion vector difference and an indicator for a motion vector predictor. The motion vector difference may mean a difference between the motion vector of the current block and the motion vector predictor.
The predictor may generate a prediction signal based on various prediction methods and prediction techniques described below. For example, the predictor may not only apply intra prediction or inter prediction but also simultaneously apply both intra prediction and inter prediction, in order to predict the current block. A prediction method of simultaneously applying both intra prediction and inter prediction for prediction of the current block may be called combined inter and intra prediction (CIIP). In addition, the predictor may perform intra block copy (IBC) for prediction of the current block. Intra block copy may be used for content video/image coding of a game or the like, for example, screen content coding (SCC). IBC is a method of predicting a current picture using a previously reconstructed reference block in the current picture at a location apart from the current block by a predetermined distance. When IBC is applied, the location of the reference block in the current picture may be encoded as a vector (block vector) corresponding to the predetermined distance. IBC basically performs prediction in the current picture, but may be performed similarly to inter prediction in that a reference block is derived within the current picture. That is, IBC may use at least one of the inter prediction techniques described in the present disclosure.
The prediction signal generated by the predictor may be used to generate a reconstructed signal or to generate a residual signal. The subtractor 115 may generate a residual signal (residual block or residual sample array) by subtracting the prediction signal (predicted block or prediction sample array) output from the predictor from the input image signal (original block or original sample array). The generated residual signal may be transmitted to the transformer 120.
The transformer 120 may generate transform coefficients by applying a transform technique to the residual signal. For example, the transform technique may include at least one of a discrete cosine transform (DCT), a discrete sine transform (DST), a karhunen-loève transform (KLT), a graph-based transform (GBT), or a conditionally non-linear transform (CNT). Here, the GBT means transform obtained from a graph when relationship information between pixels is represented by the graph. The CNT refers to transform acquired based on a prediction signal generated using all previously reconstructed pixels. In addition, the transform process may be applied to square pixel blocks having the same size or may be applied to blocks having a variable size rather than square.
The quantizer 130 may quantize the transform coefficients and transmit them to the entropy encoder 190. The entropy encoder 190 may encode the quantized signal (information on the quantized transform coefficients) and output a bitstream. The information on the quantized transform coefficients may be referred to as residual information. The quantizer 130 may rearrange quantized transform coefficients in a block type into a one-dimensional vector form based on a coefficient scanning order and generate information on the quantized transform coefficients based on the quantized transform coefficients in the one-dimensional vector form.
The entropy encoder 190 may perform various encoding methods such as, for example, exponential Golomb, context-adaptive variable length coding (CAVLC), context-adaptive binary arithmetic coding (CABAC), and the like. The entropy encoder 190 may encode information necessary for video/image reconstruction other than quantized transform coefficients (e.g., values of syntax elements, etc.) together or separately. Encoded information (e.g., encoded video/image information) may be transmitted or stored in units of network abstraction layers (NALs) in the form of a bitstream. The video/image information may further include information on various parameter sets such as an adaptation parameter set (APS), a picture parameter set (PPS), a sequence parameter set (SPS), or a video parameter set (VPS). In addition, the video/image information may further include general constraint information. The signaled information, transmitted information and/or syntax elements described in the present disclosure may be encoded through the above-described encoding procedure and included in the bitstream.
The bitstream may be transmitted over a network or may be stored in a digital storage medium. The network may include a broadcasting network and/or a communication network, and the digital storage medium may include various storage media such as USB, SD, CD, DVD, Blu-ray, HDD, SSD, and the like. A transmitter (not shown) transmitting a signal output from the entropy encoder 190 and/or a storage unit (not shown) storing the signal may be included as internal/external element of the image encoding apparatus 100. Alternatively, the transmitter may be provided as the component of the entropy encoder 190.
The quantized transform coefficients output from the quantizer 130 may be used to generate a residual signal. For example, the residual signal (residual block or residual samples) may be reconstructed by applying dequantization and inverse transform to the quantized transform coefficients through the dequantizer 140 and the inverse transformer 150.
The adder 155 adds the reconstructed residual signal to the prediction signal output from the inter predictor 180 or the intra predictor 185 to generate a reconstructed signal (reconstructed picture, reconstructed block, reconstructed sample array). If there is no residual for the block to be processed, such as a case where the skip mode is applied, the predicted block may be used as the reconstructed block. The adder 155 may be called a reconstructor or a reconstructed block generator. The generated reconstructed signal may be used for intra prediction of a next block to be processed in the current picture and may be used for inter prediction of a next picture through filtering as described below.
Meanwhile, in a picture encoding and/or reconstruction process, luma mapping with chroma scaling (LMCS) may be applied.
The filter 160 may improve subjective/objective image quality by applying filtering to the reconstructed signal. For example, the filter 160 may generate a modified reconstructed picture by applying various filtering methods to the reconstructed picture and store the modified reconstructed picture in the memory 170, specifically, a DPB of the memory 170. The various filtering methods may include, for example, deblocking filtering, a sample adaptive offset, an adaptive loop filter, a bilateral filter, and the like. The filter 160 may generate various information related to filtering and transmit the generated information to the entropy encoder 190 as described later in the description of each filtering method. The information related to filtering may be encoded by the entropy encoder 190 and output in the form of a bitstream.
The modified reconstructed picture transmitted to the memory 170 may be used as the reference picture in the inter predictor 180. When inter prediction is applied through the image encoding apparatus 100, prediction mismatch between the image encoding apparatus 100 and the image decoding apparatus may be avoided and encoding efficiency may be improved.
The DPB of the memory 170 may store the modified reconstructed picture for use as a reference picture in the inter predictor 180. The memory 170 may store the motion information of the block from which the motion information in the current picture is derived (or encoded) and/or the motion information of the blocks in the picture that have already been reconstructed. The stored motion information may be transmitted to the inter predictor 180 and used as the motion information of the spatial neighboring block or the motion information of the temporal neighboring block. The memory 170 may store reconstructed samples of reconstructed blocks in the current picture and may transfer the reconstructed samples to the intra predictor 185.
As shown in
All or at least some of a plurality of components configuring the image decoding apparatus 200 may be configured by a hardware component (e.g., a decoder or a processor) according to an embodiment. In addition, the memory 250 may include a decoded picture buffer (DPB) or may be configured by a digital storage medium.
The image decoding apparatus 200, which has received a bitstream including video/image information, may reconstruct an image by performing a process corresponding to a process performed by the image encoding apparatus 100 of
The image decoding apparatus 200 may receive a signal output from the image encoding apparatus of
Meanwhile, the image decoding apparatus according to the present disclosure may be referred to as a video/image/picture decoding apparatus. The image decoding apparatus may be classified into an information decoder (video/image/picture information decoder) and a sample decoder (video/image/picture sample decoder). The information decoder may include the entropy decoder 210. The sample decoder may include at least one of the dequantizer 220, the inverse transformer 230, the adder 235, the filter 240, the memory 250, the inter predictor 160 or the intra predictor 265.
The dequantizer 220 may dequantize the quantized transform coefficients and output the transform coefficients. The dequantizer 220 may rearrange the quantized transform coefficients in the form of a two-dimensional block. In this case, the rearrangement may be performed based on the coefficient scanning order performed in the image encoding apparatus. The dequantizer 220 may perform dequantization on the quantized transform coefficients by using a quantization parameter (e.g., quantization step size information) and obtain transform coefficients.
The inverse transformer 230 may inversely transform the transform coefficients to obtain a residual signal (residual block, residual sample array).
The predictor may perform prediction on the current block and generate a predicted block including prediction samples for the current block. The predictor may determine whether intra prediction or inter prediction is applied to the current block based on the information on the prediction output from the entropy decoder 210 and may determine a specific intra/inter prediction mode (prediction technique).
It is the same as described in the predictor of the image encoding apparatus 100 that the predictor may generate the prediction signal based on various prediction methods (techniques) which will be described later.
The intra predictor 265 may predict the current block by referring to the samples in the current picture. The description of the intra predictor 185 is equally applied to the intra predictor 265.
The inter predictor 260 may derive a predicted block for the current block based on a reference block (reference sample array) specified by a motion vector on a reference picture. In this case, in order to reduce the amount of motion information transmitted in the inter prediction mode, motion information may be predicted in units of blocks, subblocks, or samples based on correlation of motion information between the neighboring block and the current block. The motion information may include a motion vector and a reference picture index. The motion information may further include inter prediction direction (L0 prediction, L1 prediction, Bi prediction, etc.) information. In the case of inter prediction, the neighboring block may include a spatial neighboring block present in the current picture and a temporal neighboring block present in the reference picture. For example, the inter predictor 260 may configure a motion information candidate list based on neighboring blocks and derive a motion vector of the current block and/or a reference picture index based on the received candidate selection information. Inter prediction may be performed based on various prediction modes, and the information on the prediction may include information indicating a mode of inter prediction for the current block.
The adder 235 may generate a reconstructed signal (reconstructed picture, reconstructed block, reconstructed sample array) by adding the obtained residual signal to the prediction signal (predicted block, predicted sample array) output from the predictor (including the inter predictor 260 and/or the intra predictor 265). If there is no residual for the block to be processed, such as when the skip mode is applied, the predicted block may be used as the reconstructed block. The description of the adder 155 is equally applicable to the adder 235. The adder 235 may be called a reconstructor or a reconstructed block generator. The generated reconstructed signal may be used for intra prediction of a next block to be processed in the current picture and may be used for inter prediction of a next picture through filtering as described below.
Meanwhile, in a picture decoding process, luma mapping with chroma scaling (LMCS) may be applied.
The filter 240 may improve subjective/objective image quality by applying filtering to the reconstructed signal. For example, the filter 240 may generate a modified reconstructed picture by applying various filtering methods to the reconstructed picture and store the modified reconstructed picture in the memory 250, specifically, a DPB of the memory 250. The various filtering methods may include, for example, deblocking filtering, a sample adaptive offset, an adaptive loop filter, a bilateral filter, and the like.
The (modified) reconstructed picture stored in the DPB of the memory 250 may be used as a reference picture in the inter predictor 260. The memory 250 may store the motion information of the block from which the motion information in the current picture is derived (or decoded) and/or the motion information of the blocks in the picture that have already been reconstructed. The stored motion information may be transmitted to the inter predictor 260 so as to be utilized as the motion information of the spatial neighboring block or the motion information of the temporal neighboring block. The memory 250 may store reconstructed samples of reconstructed blocks in the current picture and transfer the reconstructed samples to the intra predictor 265.
In the present disclosure, the embodiments described in the filter 160, the inter predictor 180, and the intra predictor 185 of the image encoding apparatus 100 may be equally or correspondingly applied to the filter 240, the inter predictor 260, and the intra predictor 265 of the image decoding apparatus 200.
In video/image coding, a picture configuring an video/image may be encoded/decoded according to a decoding order. A picture order corresponding to an output order of the decoded picture may be set differently from the decoding order, and, based on this, not only forward prediction but also backward prediction may be performed during inter prediction.

Through such an in-loop filtering procedure, noise occurring during video/image coding, such as blocking artifact and ringing artifact, may be reduced and subjective/objective visual quality may be improved. In addition, by performing the in-loop filtering procedure in both the encoding apparatus and the decoding apparatus, the encoding apparatus and the decoding apparatus may derive the same prediction result, picture coding reliability may be increased and the amount of data to be transmitted for picture coding may be reduced.
As described above, the picture reconstruction procedure may be performed not only in the image decoding apparatus but also in the image encoding apparatus. A reconstructed block may be generated based on intra prediction/inter prediction in units of blocks, and a reconstructed picture including reconstructed blocks may be generated. When a current picture/slice/tile group is an I picture/slice/tile group, blocks included in the current picture/slice/tile group may be reconstructed based on only intra prediction. On the other hand, when the current picture/slice/tile group is a P or B picture/slice/tile group, blocks included in the current picture/slice/tile group may be reconstructed based on intra prediction or inter prediction. In this case, inter prediction may be applied to some blocks in the current picture/slice/tile group and intra prediction may be applied to the remaining blocks. The color component of the picture may include a luma component and a chroma component and the methods and embodiments of the present disclosure are applicable to both the luma component and the chroma component unless explicitly limited in the present disclosure.
Coded video/image according to the present disclosure may be, for example, processed according to the coding layer and structure described below.
The coded image is classified into a video coding layer (VCL) for an image decoding process and handling itself, a lower system for transmitting and storing encoded information, and a network abstraction layer (NAL) present between the VCL and the lower system and responsible for a network adaptation function.
In the VCL, VCL data including compressed image data (slice data) may be generated or a supplemental enhancement information (SEI) message additionally required for a decoding process of an image or a parameter set including information such as a picture parameter set (PPS), a sequence parameter set (SPS) or a video parameter set (VPS) may be generated.
In the NAL, header information (NAL unit header) may be added to a raw byte sequence payload (RBSP) generated in the VCL to generate a NAL unit. In this case, the RBSP refers to slice data, a parameter set, an SEI message generated in the VCL. The NAL unit header may include NAL unit type information specified according to RBSP data included in a corresponding NAL unit.
As shown in
The VCL NAL unit and the Non-VCL NAL unit may be attached with header information and transmitted through a network according to the data standard of the lower system. For example, the NAL unit may be modified into a data format of a predetermined standard, such as H.266/VVC file format, RTP (Real-time Transport Protocol) or TS (Transport Stream), and transmitted through various networks.
As described above, in the NAL unit, a NAL unit type may be specified according to the RBSP data structure included in the corresponding NAL unit, and information on the NAL unit type may be stored in a NAL unit header and signaled. For example, this may be largely classified into a VCL NAL unit type and a non-VCL NAL unit type depending on whether the NAL unit includes information on an image (slice data). The VCL NAL unit type may be classified according to the property and type of the picture included in the VCL NAL unit, and the Non-VCL NAL unit type may be classified according to the type of a parameter set.
An example of the NAL unit type specified according to the type of the parameter set/information included in the Non-VCL NAL unit type will be listed below.
The above-described NAL unit types may have syntax information for a NAL unit type, and the syntax information may be stored in a NAL unit header and signaled. For example, the syntax information may be nal_unit_type, and the NAL unit types may be specified using nal_unit_type values.
Meanwhile, as described above, one picture may include a plurality of slices, and one slice may include a slice header and slice data. In this case, one picture header may be further added to a plurality of slices (slice header and slice data set) in one picture. The picture header (picture header syntax) may include information/parameters commonly applicable to the picture. The slice header (slice header syntax) may include information/parameters commonly applicable to the slice. The APS (APS syntax) or PPS (PPS syntax) may include information/parameters commonly applicable to one or more slices or pictures. The SPS (SPS syntax) may include information/parameters commonly applicable to one or more sequences. The VPS (VPS syntax) may information/parameters commonly applicable to multiple layers. The DCI (DCI syntax) may include information/parameters related to decoding capability.
In the present disclosure, a high level syntax (HLS) may include at least one of the APS syntax, the PPS syntax, the SPS syntax, the VPS syntax, the DCI syntax, the picture header syntax or the slice header syntax. In addition, in the present disclosure, a low level syntax (LLS) may include, for example, a slice data syntax, a CTU syntax, a coding unit syntax, a transform unit syntax, etc.
Meanwhile, in the present disclosure, video/image information encoded in the encoding apparatus and signaled to the decoding apparatus in the form of a bitstream may include not only in-picture partitioning related information, intra/inter prediction information, residual information, in-loop filtering information but also information on the slice header, information on the picture header, information on the APS, information on the PPS, information on the SPS, information on the VPS and/or information on the DCI. In addition, the video/image information may further include general constraint information and/or information on a NAL unit header.
As described above, video/image information according to the present disclosure may include a high level syntax (HLS). An image encoding method and/or an image decoding method may be performed based on the video/image information.
The present disclosure includes various configurations for improving signaling of a high level syntax.
Configuration 1: When reference picture resampling (RPR) is not enabled, it may be constrained that the picture sizes of all pictures within a CLVS (Coder Layer Video Sequence) shall be the same. In the present disclosure, RPR may, for example, mean that the sizes of a reference picture and a current picture are different and thus the reference picture is scaled. In addition, the CLVS may be understood as video/image information or a bitstream including a sequence of encoded pictures belonging to the same layer. More specifically, when RPR is not enabled, it may be constrained that picture sizes (i.e., pic_width_in_luma_samples and pic_height_in_luma_samples) signaled in all PPSs referring to the same SPS shall be the same. In the present disclosure, pic_width_in_luma_samples and pic_height_in_luma_samples may mean the picture width in a luma sample unit and the picture height in a luma sample unit, respectively.
Configuration 2: When a picture with nuh_layer_id equal to layerA refers to a parameter set with nuh_layer_id equal to layerB, and layerA and layerB are different, it may be constrained that layerB shall be a direct reference layer or indirect reference layer of layerA. In the present disclosure, nuh_layer_id may mean the identifier of a layer, to which a NAL unit belongs, or the identifier of a layer, to which a NAL unit for transmitting a parameter set applies.
Configuration 3: When RPR is not allowed, nuh_layer_id of the PPS and nuh_layer_id of the SPS referred by the PPS are the same, and sps_video_parameter_set_id is equal to 0, it may be constrained that pic_width_in_luma_samples and pic_width_in_luma_samples signaled in all PPSs in the CLVS shall be the same as pic_width_max_in_luma_samples and pic_height_max_in_luma_samples, respectively. In the present disclosure, pic_width_max_in_luma_samples and pic_height_max_in_luma_samples may mean a maximum picture width in a luma sample unit and a maximum picture height in a luma sample unit, respectively. In addition, in the present disclosure, sps_video_parameter_set_id may be an identifier for a video parameter set (VPS) referred to by the SPS. As described above, the VPS includes information/parameters commonly applicable to multiple layers. In addition, sps_video_parameter_set_id being equal to 0 may mean that the SPS does not refer to the VPS. Accordingly, sps_video_parameter_set_id being equal to 0 may mean that a sequence referring to the SPS is composed of a single layer, not multiple layers.
Configuration 4: Alternatively, when RPR is not allowed, nuh_layer_id of the PPS and nuh_layer_id of the SPS referred to by the PPS are the same and the layer is not referred to by any other layer, it may be constrained that pic_width_in_luma_samples and pic_width_in_luma_samples siganlled in all PPSs in the CLVS are the same as pic_width_max_in_luma_samples and pic_height_max_in_luma_samples, respectively.
Configuration 5: Alternatively, when RPR is not allowed, it may be constrained that there shall be at least one PPS referring to the SPS with pic_width_in_luma_samples and pic_width_in_luma_samples equal to pic_width_max_in_luma_samples and pic_height_max_in_luma_samples, respectively.
Configuration 6: As general constraint information, a constraint flag for LMCS may be signaled. For example, no_lmcs_constraint_flag may be siganlled through a general_constaint_info( ) syntax structure. no_lmcs_constraint_flag may constrain application of LMCS. For example, no_lmcs_constraint_flag may specify whether sps_lmcs_enabled_flag has a value of 0. In the present disclosure, LMCS may be the term collectively referring to a luma mapping process and a chroma scaling process. For example, the luma mapping process and/or the chroma scaling process may be performed before in-loop filtering. For example, the luma mapping process may be performed with respect to a prediction block of a current luma block to generate a prediction block having a changed dynamic range. In this case, the current luma block may be reconstructed based on the prediction block having the changed dynamic range. In addition, for example, the chroma scaling process may be a process of scaling a chroma component residual signal based on a relationship between a luma component signal and a chroma component signal. In this case, the current chroma block may be reconstructed based on the scaled chroma component residual signal.
The embodiment of the present disclosure may include at least one of the above-described configurations. The above-described configurations may be applicable individually or in combinations.
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure including at least one of the above-described configurations will be described.
According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, constraints on a syntax element sps_seq_parameter_set_id in a sequence parameter set (SPS) may be modified. sps_seq_parameter_set_id may provide an identifier for the SPS for reference by other syntax elements. SPS NAL units may share the same value space of sps_seq_parameter_set_id, regardless of nuh_layer_id values.
According to the present embodiment, when the value of nuh_layer_id of a particular SPS NAL unit is spsLayerId and the value of nuh_layer_id of a particular VCL NAL unit is vclLayerId, it may be constrained that the particular VCL NAL unit shall not refer to the particular SPS NAL unit unless one of the following conditions (Condition 1 and Condition 2) is satisfied.
In the present disclosure, DependencyFlag[i][j] may indicate whether a layer with an index j is a (direct or indirect) reference layer of a layer with index i. For example, DependencyFlag[i][j] equal to a first value (e.g., 0) may indicate that the layer with the index j is not the reference layer of the layer with the index i. In addition, DependencyFlag[i][j] ] equal to a second value (e.g., 1) may indicate that the layer with the index j is the reference layer of the layer with the index i.
According to another embodiment of the present disclosure, constraints on a syntax element pps_pic_parameter_set_id in a picture parameter set (PPS) may be modified. pps_pic_parameter_set_id may provide an identifier for the PPS for reference by other syntax elements. PPS NAL units may share the same value space of pps_pic_parameter_set_id, regardless of a nuh_layer_id value.
According to the present embodiment, when the value of nuh_layer_id of a particular PPS NAL unit is ppsLayerId and the value of nuh_layer_id of a particular VCL NAL unit is vclLayerId, it may be constrained that the particular VCL NAL unit shall not refer to the particular PPS NAL unit unless one of the following conditions (Condition 3 and Condition 4) is satisfied.
According to another embodiment of the present disclosure, constraints on a syntax element adaptation_parameter_set_id in an adaptation parameter set (APS) may be modified. adaptation_parameter_set_id may provide an identifier for the APS for reference by other syntax elements.
According to the present embodiment, when the value of nuh_layer_id of a particular APS NAL unit is apsLayerId and the value of nuh_layer_id of a particular VCL NAL unit is vclLayerId, the particular VCL NAL unit shall not refer to the particular APS NAL unit unless one of the following conditions (Condition 5 and Condition 6) is satisfied.
According to another embodiment of the present disclosure, constraints on a syntax element pic_width_in_luma_samples and a syntax element pic_height_in_luma_samples in the PPS may be modified. pic_width_in_luma_samples may indicate a luma sample unit width of a decoded picture referring to the PPS. pic_width_in_luma_samples may not be greater than pic_width_max_in_luma_samples. In addition, pic_height_in_luma_samples may indicate a luma sample unit height of a decoded picture referring to the PPS. pic_height_in_luma_samples may not be greater than pic_height_max_in_luma_samples.
According to the present embodiment, when res_change_in_clvs_allowed_flag is equal to 0, it may be constrained that the value of pic_width_in_luma_samples and the value of pic_height_in_luma_samples are the same for all PPSs referred to by encoded pictures in the CLVS (first constraint). In the present disclosure, res_change_in_clvs_allowed_flag may be information indicating whether RPR is allowed. For example, res_change_in_clvs_allowed_flag equal to a first value (e.g., 0) may indicate that RPR is not allowed. In addition, res_change_in_clvs_allowed_flag equal to a second value (e.g., 1) may indicate that RPR is allowed.
In addition, according to the present embodiment, when res_change_in_clvs_allowed_flag is equal to 0 and sps_video_parameter_set_id is equal to 0, it may be constrained that the value of pic_width_in_luma_samples is equal to the value of pic_width_max_in_luma_samples, and the value of pic_height_in_luma_samples is equal to the value of pic_height_max_in_luma_samples (second constraint).
According to the present embodiment, the first constraint and the second constraint may be independently or in combination.
According to another embodiment of the present disclosure, information indicating whether to constrain LMCS may be signaled as general constraint information.
As shown in
According to the present embodiment, no_lmcs_constraint_flag equal to a first value (e.g., 1) may constrain sps_lmcs_enabled_flag to have a value of 0. In addition, no_lmcs_constraint_flag equal to a second value (e.g., 0) may mean that the constraint is not imposed. In the above, sps_lmcs_enabled_flag is information signaled at a higher level (e.g., SPS) and may be an example of information indicating whether LMCS is enabled. For example, sps_lmcs_enabled_flag equal to a first value (e.g., 1) may indicate that LMCS is enabled for the current CLVS, and sps_lmcs_enabled_flag equal to a second value (e.g., 0) may indicate that LMCS is not enabled for the current CLVS. When LMCS is enabled, information related to LMCS may be additionally signaled. When LMCS is not enabled, signaling of information related to LMCS may be omitted.
As described above, general constraint information may be included and signaled in a general_constraint_info( ) syntax structure. The general_constraint_info( ) syntax structure may be present in a profile tier level (PTL) structure, and may provide information on additional constraints or limits for a particular profile, tier and level.
The image encoding apparatus may encode no_lmcs_constraint_flag (S810), after determining whether to constrain LMCS. When LMCS is constrained, the image encoding apparatus may encode no_lmcs_constraint_flag equal to a first value (e.g., 1). Alternatively, when LMCS is not constrained, the image encoding apparatus may encode no_lmcs_constraint_flag equal to a second value (e.g., 0). The image encoding apparatus may encode no_lmcs_constraint_flag in a general_constraint_info( ) syntax structure as general constraint information. For example, the image encoding apparatus may be configured to constrain LMCS through signaling of no_lmcs_constraint_flag even when a current profile, tier and level allows LMCS. Therefore, it is possible to configure more various encoding environments.
The image encoding apparatus may determine the value of no_lmcs_constraint_flag (S820), and determine whether LMCS is enabled for current LMCS (S830) when the value is a second value (e.g., 0) (S820—No). When LMCS is enabled for the current CVLS (S830—Yes), the image encoding apparatus may encode sps_lmcs_enabled_flag equal to a first value (e.g., 1) (S840). When the value of no_lmcs_constraint_flag is equal to a first value (e.g., 1) (S820—Yes) or when LMCS is not enabled for the current CLVS (S830—No), the image encoding apparatus may encode sps_lmcs_enabled_flag equal to a second value (e.g., 0) (S850). The image encoding apparatus may encode sps_lmcs_enabled_flag in the SPS, for example.
When sps_lmcs_enabled_flag has a first value (e.g., 1), the image encoding apparatus may encode additional information related to LMCS (not shown). When sps_lmcs_enabled_flag has a second value (e.g., 0), the image encoding apparatus may omit signaling of additional information related to LMCS (not shown). The image encoding apparatus may perform encoding/decoding of a current picture included in a current sequence, by performing or not performing LMCS based on sps_lmcs_enabled_flag and/or additional information related to LMCS.
The image decoding apparatus may obtain sps_lmcs_enabled_flag from a bitstream (S910). For example, the image decoding apparatus may obtain sps_lmcs_enabled_flag from an SPS and decode the same. In this case, sps_lmcs_enabled_flag may be encoded by the method described with reference to
The image decoding apparatus may determine whether sps_lmcs_enabled_flag is equal to a first value (e.g., 1) (S920). When sps_lmcs_enabled_flag is equal to a first value (e.g., 1) (S920—Yes), the image decoding apparatus may obtain additional information related to LMCS from a bitstream (S940). In this case, the image decoding apparatus may reconstruct a current picture by performing LMCS based on information obtained in relation to LMCS (not shown). When sps_lmcs_enabled_flag is equal to a second value (e.g., 0) (S920—No), the image decoding apparatus may omit parsing of additional information related to LMCS (S930). In this case, the image decoding apparatus may reconstruct a current picture without performing LMCS (not shown).
sps_lmcs_enabled_flag received by the image decoding apparatus is encoded by the method described with reference to
However, operation of the image decoding apparatus is not limited to the above example, and the image decoding apparatus may infer the value of sps_lmcs_enabled_flag based on no_lmcs_constraint_flag. For example, the image decoding apparatus may infer sps_lmcs_enabled_flag to be a second value (e.g., 0) when the value of no_lmcs_constraint_flag is equal to a first value (e.g., 1).
In addition, although not shown in
As shown in
ph_lmcs_enabled_flag may be information indicating whether LMCS is enabled for a current picture. For example, ph_lmcs_enabled_flag equal to a first value (e.g., 1) may indicate that LMCS is enabled for a current picture. In addition, ph_lmcs_enabled_flag equal to a second value (e.g., 0) may indicate that LMCS is not enabled for a current picture.
ph_lmcs_aps_id may be signaled when ph_lmcs_enabled_flag is equal to a first value (e.g., 1). ph_lmcs_aps_id may indicate an identifier of an APS related to LMCS referred to by a current picture.
ph_chroma_residual_scale_flag may be signaled when ph_lmcs_enabled_flag is equal to a first value (e.g., 1) and a chroma component is present in a picture (ChromaArrayType!=0). ph_chroma_residual_scale_flag may be information indicating whether a chroma scaling process is enabled for a current picture. For example, ph_chroma_residual_scale_flag equal to a first value (e.g., 1) may indicate that a chroma scaling process is enabled for a current picture. In addition, ph_chroma_residual_scale_flag equal to a second value (e.g., 0) may indicate that a chroma scaling process is not enabled for a current picture.
Additional information related to LMCS following sps_lmcs_enabled_flag equal to a first value (e.g., 1) is not limited to the example described with reference to
According to the embodiments described with reference to
According to the embodiments described with reference to
As described above, the general constraint information may be included and transmitted in a PTL syntax structure, and, generally, the PTL syntax structure may be present in a DCI or SPS. When no_lmcs_constraint_flag is present in a PTL within DCI, no_lmcs_constraint_flag is applicable as a constraint for the entire bitstream. In contrast, when no_lmcs_constraint_flag is present in a PTL within an SPS, no_lmcs_constraint_flag is applicable as a constraint for pictures in the CVS associated with the SPS. That is, by adjusting a location (DCI or SPS) where the general constraint information is transmitted, a range, to which the constraints for LMCS applies based on the value of no_lmcs_constraint_flag, may be adaptively set.
