Abstract

An image decoding method performed by a decoding apparatus, according to the present disclosure, comprises the steps of: obtaining indication information including a first flag which indicates whether signaling of a reference picture list, to be applied to a current block, is applied at a picture level or a slice level; on the basis of the first flag, parsing, from a picture header or a slice header, information related to the signaling of the reference picture list; performing inter-prediction on the basis of the information related to the signaling of the reference picture list so as to derive prediction samples for the current block; and generating, on the basis of the prediction samples, reconstructed samples for the current block.

Claims (38)

1. An image decoding method performed by a decoding apparatus, the method comprising:

receiving image information from a bitstream, wherein the image information includes indication information including reference picture list (RPL) related flag information indicating whether reference picture list (RPL) information for a current block is signaled in a picture level or a slice level;

parsing RPL information from a picture header or a slice header based on the RPL related flag information;

deriving prediction samples for the current block by performing inter prediction based on the RPL information; and

generating reconstructed samples for the current block based on the prediction samples,

wherein the RPL related flag information is parsed from a Picture Parameter Set (PPS).

2. The image decoding method of claim 1 , wherein, based on a case that a value of the RPL related flag information is equal to 1, the RPL information is parsed from the picture header, and

wherein, based on a case that the value of the RPL related flag information is equal to 0, the RPL information is parsed from the slice header.

3. The image decoding method of claim 1 , wherein the indication information further includes deblocking related flag information indicating whether a deblocking procedure is applied at a picture level or a slice level.

4. The image decoding method of claim 3 , further comprising:

parsing deblocking filter information from the picture header or the slice header based on the deblocking related flag information,

wherein, based on a case that the deblocking filter information is parsed from the picture header, the deblocking filter information is not present in the slice header.

5. The image decoding method of claim 3 , further comprising:

parsing deblocking filter information from the picture header or the slice header based on the deblocking related flag information,

wherein based on a case that the deblocking filter information is parsed from the slice header, the deblocking filter information is not present in the picture header.

6. An image encoding method performed by an encoding apparatus, the method comprising:

deriving prediction samples by performing inter prediction on a current block;

generating indication information including reference picture list (RPL) related flag information indicating whether reference picture list (RPL) information used for the inter prediction is signaled in a picture level or at a slice level;

generating RPL information;

generating reconstructed samples based on the prediction samples; and

encoding image information including the indication information and the RPL information,

wherein the RPL related flag information indicates in which one of the picture header or the slice header the RPL information is present, and

wherein the RPL related flag information is included in a Picture Parameter Set (PPS).

7. The image encoding method of claim 6 , wherein, based on a case that a value of the RPL related flag information is equal to 1, the RPL information is present in the picture header, and

wherein based on a case that the value of the RPL related flag information is equal to 0, the RPL information is present in the slice header.

8. The image encoding method of claim 6 , wherein the indication information further includes deblocking related flag information indicating whether a deblocking procedure is applied at a picture level or a slice level.

9. The image encoding method of claim 8 , wherein based on a case that the deblocking filter information is present in the picture header, the deblocking filter information is not present in the slice header.

10. The image encoding method of claim 8 , wherein based on a case that the deblocking filter information is present in the slice header, the deblocking filter information is not present in the picture header.

11. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a bitstream generated by a method, the method comprising:

deriving prediction samples by performing inter prediction on a current block;

generating indication information including reference picture list (RPL) related flag information indicating whether reference picture list (RPL) information used for the inter prediction is signaled in a picture level or at a slice level;

generating RPL information;

generating reconstructed samples based on the prediction samples; and

generating the bitstream by encoding image information including the indication information and the RPL information,

wherein the RPL related flag information indicates in which one of the picture header or the slice header the RPL information is present, and

wherein the RPL related flag information is included in a Picture Parameter Set (PPS).

12. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 11 , wherein the indication information further includes deblocking related flag information indicating whether a deblocking procedure is applied at a picture level or a slice level.

13. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 11 , wherein based on a case that the deblocking filter information is present in the picture header, the deblocking filter information is not present in the slice header.
