Claims
- 1. A method for displaying pictures, said method comprising:
selecting a picture, said picture comprising an intracoded slice and at least one slice above the intracoded slice; decoding the at least one slice above the intracoded slice; decoding the intracoded slice; and selecting another picture, based on the decoding the at least one slice above the intracoded slice and decoding the intracoded slice.
- 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the another picture comprises an intracoded slice and at least one slice above the intracoded slice, said method further comprising:
decoding the at least one slice above the intracoded slice in the second picture; and decoding the intracoded slice of the second picture.
- 3. The method of claim 2, wherein decoding the at least one slice above the intracoded slice in the second picture further comprises:
predicting the slices above the intracoded slice in the second picture from the intracoded slice and the slices above the intracoded slice in the first picture.
- 4. The method of claim 1, wherein decoding the slices above the intracoded slice further comprises:
decoding the slices above the intracoded slice in raster order.
- 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the picture comprises a P-picture from a HITS stream.
- 6. A system for displaying pictures, said system comprising:
a memory for storing a plurality of instructions; a video decoder for executing the plurality of instructions; and wherein execution of the instructions by the video decoder comprises causing:
selecting a picture, said picture comprising an intracoded slice and at least one slice above the intracoded slice; decoding the at least one slice above the intracoded slice; decoding the intracoded slice; and selecting another picture, based on the decoding the at least one slice above the intracoded slice and decoding the intracoded slice.
- 7. The system of claim 6, wherein the another picture comprises an intracoded slice and at least one slice above the intracoded slice, said method further comprising:
decoding the at least one slice above the intracoded slice in the second picture; and decoding the intracoded slice of the second picture.
- 8. The system of claim 7, wherein causing decoding the at least one slice above the intracoded slice in the second picture comprises causing:
predicting the slices above the intracoded slice in the second picture from the intracoded slice and the slices above the intracoded slice in the first picture.
- 9. The system of claim 6, wherein decoding the at least one slice above the intracoded slice further comprises causing:
decoding the at least one slice in raster order.
- 10. The system of claim 6, wherein the picture comprises a P-picture from a HITS stream.
- 11. A decoder for displaying pictures, said decoder comprising:
a buffer for storing a first picture and a second picture, wherein the first picture and the second picture each comprise:
an intracoded slice; and at least one slice above the intracoded slice; and a video decoder for decoding the at least one slice above the intracoded slice of the second picture, based on decoding the intracoded slice and the at least one slice above the intracoded slice of the first picture.
- 12. The decoder of claim 11, wherein the video decoder predicts the slices above the intracoded slice in the second picture from the intracoded slice and the slices above the intracoded slice in the first picture.
- 13. The decoder of claim 11, wherein the video decoder decodes the slices above the intracoded slice in raster order.
- 14. The decoder of claim 11, wherein the first picture and the second picture comprise a P-picture from a HITS stream.
