Abstract

This disclosure relates to video coding and more particular to techniques for signaling decoded picture buffer information for coded video data. The method of decoding video data comprises, determining a number of output layer sets with more than one layer; determining a number of decoded picture buffer parameters syntax structures in a video parameter set; in a case that the number of the decoded picture buffer parameters syntax structures is not equal to the number of the output layer sets with more than one layer, decoding a syntax element specifying an index of the decoded picture buffer parameters syntax structures; and in a case that the syntax element is not present, inferring a value of the syntax element.

Claims (19)

1 . A device for decoding video data, the device comprising:

a processor; and

a memory connected to the processor, wherein the processor is configured to:

determine a number of output layer sets with more than one layer,

determine a number of decoded picture buffer parameters syntax structures in a video parameter set,

in a case that the number of the decoded picture buffer parameters syntax structures is greater than 1 and not equal to the number of the output layer sets with more than one layer, decode a syntax element specifying an index of one of the decoded picture buffer parameters syntax structures, and

in a case that the number of the decoded picture buffer parameters syntax structures is equal to the number of the output layer sets with more than one layer, infer a value of the syntax element.

2 . A device for encoding video data, the device comprising:

a processor; and

a memory connected to the processor, wherein the processor is configured to:

determine a number of output layer sets with more than one layer,

determine a number of decoded picture buffer parameters syntax structures in a video parameter set,

in a case that the number of the decoded picture buffer parameters syntax structures is greater than 1 and not equal to the number of the output layer sets with more than one layer, encode a syntax element specifying an index of one of the decoded picture buffer parameters syntax structures, and

in a case that the number of the decoded picture buffer parameters syntax structures is equal to the number of the output layer sets with more than one layer, infer a value of the syntax element.

3 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium coupled to at least one processor and storing one or more instructions for generating a bitstream, the at least one processor configured to execute the one or more instructions to:

generate a video parameter set included in the bitstream;

determine a number of output layer sets with more than one layer;

determine a number of decoded picture buffer parameters syntax structures in the video parameter set, wherein, in a case that the number of the decoded picture buffer parameters syntax structures is greater than 1 and not equal to the number of the output layer sets with more than one layer, the video parameter set includes a syntax element specifying an index of one of the decoded picture buffer parameters syntax structures; and

in a case that the number of the decoded picture buffer parameters syntax structures is equal to the number of the output layer sets with more than one layer, infer a value of the syntax element.
