Abstract

Claims (53)

1. A method for processing visual media data comprising:

performing a conversion between visual media data and a visual media data file that includes pictures in layers, based on a random access recovery point (roll) sample group specifying access points into the layers, and a grouping type parameter, the grouping type parameter specifying a correspondence between the access points and relevant layers of the layers and including a layer identifier method identification code parameter specifying that the access points include one or more of:

one or more gradual decoding refresh (GDR) pictures; and

one or more mixed network abstraction layer (NAL) unit pictures with both an intra random access point (IRAP) subpicture and a non-IRAP subpicture,

wherein the layer identifier method identification code parameter is denoted as layer_id_method_idc, and wherein the layer_id_method_idc equal to one or three specifies that: the access points apply to only the relevant layers and each bit in a target layer parameter included in the grouping type parameter specifies one of the relevant layers.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the conversion includes:

encoding the pictures into the layers in the visual media data file;

determining the roll sample group specifying access points into the layers;

encoding the grouping type parameter into the visual media data file; and

storing the visual media data file.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the conversion includes:

receiving the visual media data file comprising the pictures coded into the layers;

obtaining the roll sample group from the visual media data file, the roll sample group specifying the access points into the layers;

obtaining the grouping type parameter from the visual media data file; and

decoding the visual media data file based on the grouping type parameter.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein a value of the layer identifier method identification code parameter specifies that the access points apply to only the relevant layers or the access points apply to all of the layers.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the grouping type parameter is denoted as group_type_parameter, and wherein the target layer parameter is denoted as target_layers.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the layer_id_method_idc is set to zero when specifying all access points in the relevant layers are GDR pictures and the access points apply to all the layers.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the layer_id_method_idc is set to one when specifying all access points in the relevant layers are GDR pictures and the access points apply to only the relevant layers.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the layer_id_method_idc is set to two when specifying the access points in the relevant layers are GDR pictures, mixed NAL unit pictures, or combinations thereof and the access points apply to all the layers.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the layer_id_method_idc is set to three when specifying the access points in the relevant layers are GDR pictures, mixed NAL unit pictures, or combinations thereof and the access points apply to only the relevant layers.

10. 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 visual media data and a visual media data file that includes pictures in layers, based on a random access recovery point (roll) sample group specifying access points into the layers, and a grouping type parameter, the grouping type parameter specifying a correspondence between the access points and relevant layers of the layers and including a layer identifier method identification code parameter specifying that the access points include one or more of:

one or more gradual decoding refresh (GDR) pictures; and

one or more mixed network abstraction layer (NAL) unit pictures with both an intra random access point (IRAP) subpicture and a non-IRAP subpicture,

wherein the layer identifier method identification code parameter is denoted as layer_id_method_idc, and wherein the layer_id_method_idc equal to one or three specifies that: the access points apply to only the relevant layers and each bit in a target layer parameter included in the grouping type parameter specifies one of the relevant layers.

11. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the conversion includes:

encoding the pictures into the layers in the visual media data file;

determining the roll sample group specifying access points into the layers;

encoding the grouping type parameter into the visual media data file; and

storing the visual media data file.

12. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the conversion includes:

receiving the visual media data file comprising the pictures coded into the layers;

obtaining the roll sample group from the visual media data file, the roll sample group specifying the access points into the layers;

obtaining the grouping type parameter from the visual media data file; and

decoding the visual media data file based on the grouping type parameter.

13. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein a value of the layer identifier method identification code parameter specifies that the access points apply to only the relevant layers or the access points apply to all of the layers.

14. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the grouping type parameter is denoted as group_type_parameter, wherein the target layer parameter is denoted as target_layers,

15. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising a computer program product for use by a video coding device, the computer program product comprising computer executable instructions stored on the non-transitory computer readable medium such that when executed by a processor cause the video coding device to:

perform a conversion between visual media data and a visual media data file that includes pictures in layers, based on a random access recovery point (roll) sample group specifying access points into the layers, and a grouping type parameter, the grouping type parameter specifying a correspondence between the access points and relevant layers of the layers and including a layer identifier method identification code parameter specifying that the access points include one or more of:
