IMAGE ENCODING/DECODING METHOD AND DEVICE FOR SIGNALING INFORMATION RELATING TO PTL, DPB, AND HRD IN SPS, AND COMPUTER-READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM STORING BITSTREAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17916188 titled 'IMAGE ENCODING/DECODING METHOD AND DEVICE FOR SIGNALING INFORMATION RELATING TO PTL, DPB, AND HRD IN SPS, AND COMPUTER-READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM STORING BITSTREAM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method and apparatus for encoding and decoding images, specifically for signaling profile tier level (PTL), decoded picture buffer (DPB), and hypothetical reference decoder (HRD) related information in a sequence parameter set (SPS). It also includes a method for transmitting a bitstream.

  • The method involves obtaining flag information that indicates the presence of PTL, DPB, and HRD related information in the SPS.
  • Based on the flag information, at least one of the PTL syntax structure, DPB parameter syntax structure, and HRD parameter syntax structure is obtained.
  • The current output layer set (OLS) is processed based on the obtained syntax structure.
  • The flag information has a predetermined value when an OLS with only one layer, having the same layer identifier as the SPS, is present.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Video encoding and decoding systems
  • Multimedia streaming services
  • Video conferencing and telecommunication systems

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Efficient signaling of PTL, DPB, and HRD related information in image encoding and decoding processes
  • Simplified syntax structure for sequence parameter sets
  • Improved processing of current output layer sets

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enhanced video quality and compression efficiency
  • Reduced complexity in image encoding and decoding algorithms
  • Improved compatibility and interoperability between different video encoding and decoding systems


Original Abstract Submitted

An image encoding/decoding method and apparatus for signaling PTL, DPB and HRD related information in SPS and a method of transmitting a bitstream are provided. The image decoding method may comprise obtaining flag information indicating whether a profile tier level (PTL) syntax structure, a decoded picture buffer (DPB) parameter syntax structure and a hypothetical reference decoder (HRD) parameter syntax structure are present in a sequence parameter set (SPS), obtaining at least one among the PTL syntax structure, DPB parameter syntax structure and HRD parameter syntax structure, based on the flag information, and processing a current output layer set (OLS), based on the obtained syntax structure. The flag information may have a predetermined value, based on that an OLS including only one layer having the same layer identifier as a layer identifier of the SPS is present.
