METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR INCORPORATING VIDEO USABILITY INFORMATION (VUI) WITHIN A MULTI-VIEW VIDEO (MVC) CODING SYSTEM
There are provided methods and apparatus for incorporating video usability information (VUI) within multi-view video coding (MVC). An apparatus includes an encoder for encoding multi-view video content by specifying video usability information for at least one selected from: individual views, individual temporal levels in a view, and individual operating points. Further, an apparatus includes a decoder for decoding multi-view video content by specifying video usability information for at least one selected from: individual views, individual temporal levels in a view, and individual operating points.
1 . An apparatus, comprising:
an encoder for encoding multi-view video content by specifying video usability information for at least one selected from: individual views, individual temporal levels in a view, and individual operating points.
2 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the parameters are specified in at least one high level syntax element.
3 . The apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the at least one high level syntax element comprises at least one of a mvc_vui_parameters_extension( ) syntax element, a mvc_scalability_info supplemental enhancement information syntax message, at least a portion of a sequence parameters set, a picture parameters set, and supplemental enhancement information.
4 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of the video usability information comprises bitstream restriction parameters.
5 . A method, comprising:
encoding multi-view video content by specifying video usability information for at least one selected from: individual views, individual temporal levels in a view, and individual operating points.
6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the parameters are specified in at least one high level syntax element.
7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the at least one high level syntax element comprises at least one of a mvc_vui_parameters_extension( ) syntax element, a mvc_scalability_info supplemental enhancement information syntax message, at least a portion of a sequence parameters set, a picture parameters set, and supplemental enhancement information.
8 . The method of claim 5 , wherein at least a portion of the video usability information comprises bitstream restriction parameters.
9 . A computer-programmable storage media having video signal data encoded thereupon, comprising:
multi-view video content encoded by specifying video usability information for at least one selected from: individual views, individual temporal levels in a view, and individual operating points.
10 . The computer-programmable storage media of claim 9 , wherein the parameters are specified in at least one high level syntax element.
11 . The computer-programmable storage media of claim 10 , wherein the at least one high level syntax element comprises at least one of a mvc_vui_parameters_extension( ) syntax element, a mvc_scalability_info supplemental enhancement information syntax message, at least a portion of a sequence parameters set, a picture parameters set, and supplemental enhancement information.
12 . The computer-programmable storage media of claim 9 , wherein at least a portion of the video usability information comprises bitstream restriction parameters.
