METHOD FOR MIXED NAL UNIT TYPE SUPPORT IN A CODED PICTURE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18510468 titled 'METHOD FOR MIXED NAL UNIT TYPE SUPPORT IN A CODED PICTURE

Simplified Explanation

Methods and systems for decoding video streams involve receiving different types of Network Abstraction Layer (NAL) units and Video Coding Layer (VCL) NAL units to determine the picture type and decode the coded picture.

  • Decoding process involves receiving a first NAL unit of a first slice and a second NAL unit of a second slice of the coded picture.
  • The first VCL NAL unit has a different type than the second VCL NAL unit, which helps in determining the picture type.
  • The decoding process also considers an indicator received by the processor indicating mixed VCL NAL unit types in the coded picture.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in video streaming services, video conferencing systems, surveillance systems, and video editing software.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of efficiently decoding video streams with mixed VCL NAL unit types, improving the overall video decoding process.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include improved video decoding accuracy, faster processing speeds, and enhanced video quality in various applications.

Potential Commercial Applications

Potential commercial applications of this technology include video streaming platforms, video conferencing software, security camera systems, and multimedia editing tools.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art for this technology could be the use of different NAL unit types in video decoding processes to enhance picture quality and decoding efficiency.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology compare to existing video decoding methods in terms of efficiency and accuracy?

This article does not provide a direct comparison between this technology and existing video decoding methods in terms of efficiency and accuracy.

What are the specific indicators used to determine mixed VCL NAL unit types in the coded picture?

The article does not specify the specific indicators used to determine mixed VCL NAL unit types in the coded picture.


Original Abstract Submitted

Methods and systems are provided for decoding at least one video stream. A method includes receiving a first network abstraction layer (NAL) unit of a first slice of a coded picture and a second VCL NAL unit of a second slice of the coded picture, the first VCL NAL unit having a first VCL NAL unit type and the second VCL NAL unit having a second VCL NAL unit type that is different from the first VCL NAL unit type, and decoding the coded picture, the decoding including determining a picture type of the coded picture based on the first VCL NAL unit type of the first VCL NAL unit and the second VCL NAL unit type of the second VCL NAL unit, or based on an indicator, received by the at least one processor, indicating that the coded picture includes mixed VCL NAL unit types.
