Systems and methods for signaling buffer output information in video coding
A method of decoding video data includes receiving a first decoding unit information message corresponding to a first decoding unit of a current access unit, determining a syntax element used to compute a decoded picture buffer output time of the current access unit is not present in the first decoding unit information message, and based on the syntax element not being present in the first decoding unit information message, inferring the value of the syntax element to be equal to a value of a corresponding instance of the syntax element in a second decoding unit information message, wherein the second decoding unit information corresponds to a second decoding unit belonging to the current access unit.
1. A method of decoding video data, the method comprising:
receiving a first decoding unit information message corresponding to a first decoding unit of a current access unit;
determining whether or not a decoding unit information (DUI) decoded picture buffer (DPB) output decoding unit (DU) delay syntax element used to compute a decoded picture buffer output time of the current access unit is present in the first decoding unit information message; and
based on the DUI DPB output DU delay syntax element not being present in the first decoding unit information message and decoding unit level decoded picture buffer output delay parameters being present in the first decoding unit information message and not in picture timing information messages, inferring a value of the DUI DPB output DU delay syntax element to be equal to a value of a corresponding instance of the DUI DPB output DU delay syntax element present in a second decoding unit information message, wherein the second decoding unit information message corresponds to a second decoding unit of the current access unit.
2. A device comprising one or more processors configured to:
receive a first decoding unit information message corresponding to a first decoding unit of a current access unit;
determine whether or not a decoding unit information (DUI) decoded picture buffer (DPB) output decoding unit (DU) delay syntax element used to compute a decoded picture buffer output time of the current access unit is present in the first decoding unit information message; and
based on the DUI DPB output DU delay syntax element not being present in the first decoding unit information message and decoding unit level decoded picture buffer output delay parameters being present in the first decoding unit information message and not in picture timing information messages, infer a value of the DUI DPB output DU delay syntax element to be equal to a value of a corresponding instance of the DUI DPB output DU delay syntax element present in a second decoding unit information message, wherein the second decoding unit information message corresponds to a second decoding unit of the current access unit.
3. The device of claim 2 , wherein the device includes a video decoder.
4. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of a device storing one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of the device, cause the one or more processors of the device to:
receive a first decoding unit information message corresponding to a first decoding unit of a current access unit;
determine whether or not a decoding unit information (DUI) decoded picture buffer (DPB) output decoding unit (DU) delay syntax element used to compute a decoded picture buffer output time of the current access unit is present in the first decoding unit information message; and
based on the DUI DPB output DU delay syntax element not being present in the first decoding unit information message and decoding unit level decoded picture buffer output delay parameters being present in the first decoding unit information message and not in picture timing information messages, infer a value of the DUI DPB output DU delay syntax element to be equal to a value of a corresponding instance of the DUI DPB output DU delay syntax element present in a second decoding unit information message, wherein the second decoding unit information message corresponds to a second decoding unit of the current access unit.
