Abstract

The present invention relates to a decoding method for a bit stream that supports a plurality of layers. The decoding method may include receiving information on a set of video parameters that includes information on the plurality of layers, and parsing the set of video parameters to grasp information on the layers in the bit stream.

Claims (23)

1. A method of determining information for multiple spatial layers using a video parameter set and performing scalable video decoding, comprising:

receiving an extension flag which indicates whether an enhancement layer for scalability is supported and information related to the enhancement layer is provided;

determining whether a value of the extension flag equals to 1 which indicates that the enhancement layer for scalability is supported and the information related to the enhancement layer is provided;

receiving, when the value of the extension flag is equal to 1, representation format number information indicating the maximum number of representation formats for the multiple spatial layers;

obtaining the representation formats based on the number determined by the representation format number information; and

performing the scalable video decoding using the representation formats,

wherein the representation format comprises index information which indicates a chroma format among a plurality of chroma formats.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein, when the value of the extension flag is equal to 1, representation format index information indicating the representation format applied to a specific layer is received.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the representation format comprises luma bit depth information which corresponds to a bit depth of luma sample of the spatial layer and chroma bit depth information which corresponds to a bit depth of chroma sample of the spatial layer.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the representation format comprises at least one of width information of which value corresponding to the number of luma samples included in a row of a picture of the pictures of the multiple spatial layers and a height information of which value corresponding to the number of luma samples included in a column of the picture.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein when the value of the extension flag equals to 0, the representation format number information is not received and the representation formats are not obtained.

6. A method of performing scalable video encoding, comprising:

determining whether an enhancement layer for scalability is supported and information related to the enhancement layer is provided;

encoding an extension flag in a video parameter set based on the determination, the extension flag being set equal to 1 when the enhancement layer for scalability is supported and the information related to the enhancement layer is provided;

encoding, when the value of the extension flag is equal to 1, representation formats for multiple spatial layers and representation format number information indicating the maximum number of representation formats; and

performing the scalable video encoding using the representation formats,

wherein the representation format comprises index information which indicates a chroma format among a plurality of chroma formats.

7. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium for transmitting video data, the video data comprising a video parameter set,

wherein the video parameter set includes an extension flag which indicates whether an enhancement layer for scalability is supported and information related to the enhancement layer is provided;

wherein in a decoding process, when the value of the extension flag is equal to 1, representation format number information is received, wherein the extension flag being equal to 1 indicates that the enhancement layer for scalability is supported and the information related to the enhancement layer is provided,

wherein the representation format number information is used for obtaining representation formats for multiple spatial layers, the representation format number information indicating the maximum number of representation formats,

wherein the representation formats are used for performing scalable video decoding, and

wherein the representation format comprises index information indicating a chroma format among a plurality of chroma formats.
