Image processing apparatus and method
There is provided an image processing apparatus and an image processing method that are capable of inhibiting increase of a load of decoding. Metadata extracted from coded data of a moving image is updated in accordance with coded data of a partial area of the moving image extracted from the coded data of the moving image. For example, slice-basis metadata corresponding to each slice included in the partial area is updated. The present disclosure can be applied to, for example, an image processing apparatus, a data conversion apparatus, an image coding apparatus, an image decoding apparatus, a communication apparatus, and the like.
1. An image decoding apparatus comprising at least one processor configured to:
receive a first bitstream of coded data indicating a first moving image;
acquire, from the first bitstream, supplemental enhancement information (SEI) specifying an independently decodable tile set;
update, based on the SEI, at least one of a video parameter set (VPS), a sequential parameter set (SPS) or a picture parameter set (PPS) contained in the first bitstream to correspond to a partial area of the moving image including the independently decodable tile set; and
extract a second bitstream indicating a second moving image smaller than the first moving image, and including at least one of the updated VPS, the updated SPS or the updated PPS to satisfy at least one of a profile or a level different from that of the first bitstream.
2. The image decoding apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
the at least one processor is further configured to acquire, as the SEI, motion constrained tile set SEI (MCTS SEI) from the first bitstream.
3. The image decoding apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein
the MCTS SEI includes at least one parameter setting a shape of the independently decodable tile set to a rectangular shape, and
the at least one processor is further configured to decode the second bitstream to acquire the partial area to have the rectangular shape.
4. The image decoding apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
the at least one processor is further configured to decode the second bitstream to acquire the second moving image without decoding the first bitstream.
5. The image decoding apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
the at least one of the profile or the level conforms to High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC).
6. An image decoding method comprising:
receiving a first bitstream of coded data indicating a first moving image;
acquiring, from the first bitstream, supplemental enhancement information (SEI) specifying an independently decodable tile set;
updating, based on the SEI, at least one of a video parameter set (VPS), a sequential parameter set (SPS) or a picture parameter set (PPS) contained in the first bitstream to correspond to a partial area of the moving image including the independently decodable tile set; and
extracting a second bitstream indicating a second moving image smaller than the first moving image, and including at least one of the updated VPS, the updated SPS or the updated PPS to satisfy at least one of a profile or a level different from that of the first bitstream.
7. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having embodied thereon a program, which when executed by a computer causes the computer to execute an image decoding method, the method comprising:
receiving a first bitstream of coded data indicating a first moving image;
acquiring, from the first bitstream, supplemental enhancement information (SEI) specifying an independently decodable tile set;
updating, based on the SEI, at least one of a video parameter set (VPS), a sequential parameter set (SPS) or a picture parameter set (PPS) contained in the first bitstream to correspond to a partial area of the moving image including the independently decodable tile set; and
extracting a second bitstream indicating a second moving image smaller than the first moving image, and including at least one of the updated VPS, the updated SPS or the updated PPS to satisfy at least one of a profile or a level different from that of the first bitstream.
