Abstract

Embodiments of the disclosure provide methods and devices for decoding video signals using inter prediction. According to an embodiment of the disclosure, a method for processing a video signal comprises constructing a reference picture list of a current picture in the video signal and performing a prediction for a current picture by using the reference picture list, wherein constructing the reference picture list comprising, if a first entry of the reference picture list corresponds to a short-term reference picture (STRP), obtaining a picture order count (POC) difference between a picture related to the first entry and another picture, and if a second entry of the reference picture list corresponds to a long-term reference picture (LTRP), obtaining a POC modulo value of a picture related to the second entry. A reference picture list for identifying a picture may be generated in a simplified and effective manner. Thus, the compression performance may be increased, and the computation time may be decreased.

Claims (34)

1. A method for decoding a video signal by a device, comprising:

obtaining a number of entries included in a reference picture list of a current picture;

marking each of entries of the reference picture list as a short-term reference picture (STRP) or a long-term reference picture (LTRP) by the number of entries; and

deriving prediction samples for the current picture based on the reference picture list, and

wherein marking each of entries comprises:

based on information about whether the LTRP is used for inter prediction, obtaining a first flag indicating whether an entry of the reference picture list is a STRP entry or a LTRP entry;

based on that the entry of the reference picture list is the STRP entry, obtaining a picture order count (POC) difference between a reference picture related to the STRP entry and another picture;

based on the POC difference, obtaining a second flag indicating a sign of the POC difference;

based on that an entry of the reference picture list is the LTRP entry, obtaining a POC modulo value of a reference picture related to the LTRP entry, and

wherein the number of entries has a maximum value as a maximum required size of a decoded picture buffer plus 14, and

wherein the second flag is obtained based on that a value based on the POC difference is greater than 0.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the POC difference is an absolute value of a POC of the another picture minus a POC of the reference picture related to the STRP entry.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the another picture is the current picture based on that the entry marked as the STRP is a first STRP entry in the marking of each of entries of the reference picture, or the another picture is a previous STRP in the reference picture list based on that the entry marked as the STRP is not the first STRP in the marking of each of entries of the reference picture.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein marking each of entries comprises:

obtaining a number of STRP entries and LTRP entries; and

performing a STRP marking by the number of STRP entries, and performing a LTRP marking by the number of LTRP entries.

5. A method of encoding a video signal by a device, comprising:

constructing a reference picture list of a current picture; and

generating code information for constructing the reference picture list,

wherein the code information includes a number of entries in the reference picture list, a first flag indicating whether an entry of the reference picture list is a short-term reference picture (STRP) or a long-term reference picture entry a picture order count (POC) difference between a reference picture related to the STRP entry and another picture, a second flag indicating a sign of the POC difference, and a POC modulo value of a reference picture related to the LTRP entry,

wherein the number of entries has a maximum value as a maximum required size of a decoded picture buffer plus 14, and

wherein the second flag is generated based on that a value based on the POC difference is greater than 0.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the POC difference is an absolute value of a POC of the another picture minus a POC of the reference picture related to the STRP entry.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the another picture is the current picture based on that the entry marked as the STRP is a first STRP entry in the code information, or the another picture is a previous STRP in the reference picture list based on that the entry marked as the STRP is not the first STRP in the code information.

8. The method of claim 5 , wherein at least one of code information is included in a sequence parameter set (SPS), picture parameter set (PPS), or slice header related to the video signal.

9. A transmission method for data comprising a bitstream related to a video signal, the method comprising:

obtaining the bitstream related to the video signal; and

transmitting the data comprising the bitstream;

wherein the bitstream is generated by performing the steps of:

constructing a reference picture list of a current picture; and

generating code information for constructing the reference picture list,

wherein the code information includes a number of entries in the reference picture list, a first flag indicating whether an entry of the reference picture list is a short-term reference picture (STRP) or a long-term reference picture entry a picture order count (POC) difference between a reference picture related to the STRP entry and another picture, a second flag indicating a sign of the POC difference, and a POC modulo value of a reference picture related to the LTRP entry,

wherein the number of entries has a maximum value as a maximum required size of a decoded picture buffer plus 14, and

wherein the second flag is generated based on that a value based on the POC difference is greater than 0.
