Abstract

Claims (49)

1. A method of video processing, comprising:

performing a conversion between a video and a bitstream of the video according to a first rule,

determining whether a value of a first field of a sequence parameter set is set equal to 0 or is greater than 0;

wherein the first rule specifies that responsive to the value of the first field of the sequence parameter set that is indicative of an identifier of a video parameter set being equal to 0, a second field of the video parameter set that is indicative of a first maximum number of sublayers allowed in a layer specified by the video parameter set is construed to be equal to a third field in the sequence parameter set, and the value of the third field is in a range of 0 to 6, inclusive,

wherein the third field is indicative of a second maximum number of sublayers allowed in each coded layer video sequence referring to the sequence parameter set,

wherein the first rule further specifies that responsive to the value of the first field being greater than 0, the first field specifies the identifier of the video parameter set referred to by the sequence parameter set, and the value of the third field is in a range of 0 to a value of the second field, inclusive, and

wherein the conversion is performed according to a second rule, and wherein the second rule specifies that, responsive to the value of the first field being equal to 0, a total number of output layer sets specified by the video parameter set and a number of layers in a first output layer set is equal to 1, and a layer identifier of the video parameter set is equal to a network abstraction layer (NAL) unit header identifier (nuh_layer_id) of a layer in a coded video sequence.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the value of the second field is equal to the first maximum number minus 1.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the value of the third field is equal to the second maximum number minus 1.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the conversion is performed according to a third rule, wherein the third rule specifies that pictures within a layer are permitted to reference picture parameter sets that have different values of syntax elements indicative of whether picture partitioning is enabled for a corresponding picture.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the syntax elements equal to a first value specifies that no picture partitioning is applied to each picture referring to a picture parameter set; and the syntax elements equal to a second value specifies that each picture referring to a corresponding picture parameter set is allowed to be partitioned into more than one tile or slice.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the conversion is performed according to a fourth rule, and wherein the fourth rule specifies that a responsive to a syntax element indicative of whether loop filtering across tiles of a picture is enabled being absent from a picture parameter set referred to by the picture, the syntax element is inferred to have a particular value.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the particular value is 0.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the syntax element equal to 0 specifies that in-loop filtering operations across the tiles of the picture are disabled for pictures referring to the picture parameter set.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the conversion includes encoding the video into the bitstream.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the conversion includes decoding the video from the bitstream.

11. An apparatus for processing video data comprising a processor and a non-transitory memory with instructions thereon, wherein the instructions upon execution by the processor, cause the processor to:

perform a conversion between a video and a bitstream of the video according to a first rule,

wherein the third field is indicative of a second maximum number of sublayers allowed in each coded layer video sequence referring to the sequence parameter set, and

wherein the first rule further specifies that responsive to the value of the first field being greater than 0, the first field specifies the identifier of the video parameter set referred to by the sequence parameter set, and the value of the third field is in a range of 0 to a value of the second field, inclusive, and

wherein the conversion is performed according to a second rule, and wherein the second rule specifies that, responsive to the value of the first field being equal to 0, a total number of output layer sets specified by the video parameter set and a number of layers in a first output layer set is equal to 1, and a layer identifier of the video parameter set is equal to a network abstraction layer (NAL) unit header identifier (nuh_layer_id) of a layer in a coded video sequence.

12. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the conversion is performed according to, a third rule, or a fourth rule,

wherein the third rule specifies that pictures within a layer are permitted to reference picture parameter sets that have different values of syntax elements indicative of whether picture partitioning is enabled for a corresponding picture, or

wherein the fourth rule specifies that a responsive to a syntax element indicative of whether loop filtering across tiles of a picture is enabled being absent from a picture parameter set referred to by the picture, the syntax element is inferred to have a particular value.

13. The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the syntax elements equal to a first value specifies that no picture partitioning is applied to each picture referring to a picture parameter set; and the syntax elements equal to a second value specifies that each picture referring to a corresponding picture parameter set is allowed to be partitioned into more than one tile or slice.
