Abstract

There is disclosed and described a decoder and decoding method for decoding at least one picture corresponding to at least one of at least two views of multi-view video content from a bitstream, wherein in the bitstream at least one of coding order information and output order information for the at least one picture is decoupled from the at least one view to which the at least one picture corresponds. Furthermore, there is disclosed and described an encoder and encoding method for encoding at least one picture corresponding to at least one of at least two views of multi-view video content to form a resultant bitstream, wherein in the resultant bitstream at least one of coding order information and output order information for the at least one picture is decoupled from the at least one view to which the at least one picture corresponds.

Claims (20)

1. An apparatus, comprising:

an encoder for encoding at least one of at least two views corresponding to multi-view video content, wherein said encoder encodes the at least one of the at least two views using redefined variables in a default reference picture list construction process and reference picture list reordering corresponding to the International Organization for Standardization/International Electrotechnical Commission Moving Picture Experts Group-4 Part 10 Advanced Video Coding standard/International Telecommunication Union, Telecommunication Sector H.264 recommendation, wherein a Group Of Pictures length is used to redefine the variables.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein at least one of a number of views and view identifier information is further used to redefine the variables.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein view identifier information is further used to redefine the variables.

4. An apparatus, comprising:

an encoder for encoding at least one of at least two views corresponding to multi-view video content, wherein said encoder encodes the at least one of the at least two views using redefined variables in a decoded reference picture marking process of the International Organization for Standardization/International Electrotechnical Commission Moving Picture Experts Group-4 Part 10 Advanced Video Coding standard/International Telecommunication Union, Telecommunication Sector H.264 recommendation, wherein a Group Of Pictures length is used to redefine the variables.

5. The apparatus of claim 4 , wherein at least one of a number of views and view identifier information is further used to redefine the variables.

6. The apparatus of claim 4 , wherein view identifier information is further used to redefine the variables.

7. A method, comprising:

encoding at least one of at least two views corresponding to multi-view video content, wherein said encoding step encodes the at least one of the at least two views using redefined variables in a default reference picture list construction process and reference picture list reordering corresponding to the International Organization for Standardization/International Electrotechnical Commission Moving Picture Experts Group-4 Part 10 Advanced Video Coding standard/International Telecommunication Union, Telecommunication Sector H.264 recommendation, wherein a Group Of Pictures length is used to redefine the variables.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein at least one of a number of views and view identifier information is further used to redefine the variables.

9. The method of claim 7 , wherein view identifier information is further used to redefine the variables.

10. A method, comprising:

encoding at least one of at least two views corresponding to multi-view video content, wherein said encoding step encodes the at least one of the at least two views using redefined variables in a decoded reference picture marking process of the International Organization for Standardization/International Electrotechnical Commission Moving Picture Experts Group-4 Part 10 Advanced Video Coding standard/International Telecommunication Union, Telecommunication Sector H.264 recommendation, wherein a Group Of Pictures length is used to redefine the variables.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein at least one of a number of views and view identifier information is further used to redefine the variables.

12. The method of claim 10 , wherein view identifier information is further used to redefine the variables.

13. A non-transitory storage media having video signal data encoded thereupon, comprising:

at least one of at least two views corresponding to multi-view video content, wherein the at least one of the at least two views is encoded using redefined variables in a default reference picture list construction process and reference picture list reordering corresponding to the International Organization for Standardization/International Electrotechnical Commission Moving Picture Experts Group-4 Part 10 Advanced Video Coding standard/International Telecommunication Union, Telecommunication Sector H.264 recommendation, wherein a Group Of Pictures length is used to redefine the variables.

14. A non-transitory storage media having video signal data encoded thereupon, comprising:

at least one of at least two views corresponding to multi-view video content, wherein the at least one of the at least two views is encoded using redefined variables in a decoded reference picture marking process of the International Organization for Standardization/International Electrotechnical Commission Moving Picture Experts Group-4 Part 10 Advanced Video Coding standard/International Telecommunication Union, Telecommunication Sector H.264 recommendation, wherein a Group Of Pictures length is used to redefine the variables.
