Abstract

Claims (43)

1 . A method of decoding using at least one processor, the method comprising:

receiving video data comprising a coded video sequence (CVS);

obtaining a picture header (PH) network abstraction layer (NAL) unit included in a picture header;

obtaining at least one coded slice NAL unit corresponding to the PH NAL unit;

obtaining a picture parameter set (PPS) included in a PPS NAL unit from the coded video sequence, the PPS NAL unit is referenced by the PH NAL unit and the coded slice NAL unit, and the PPS NAL unit includes a first layer identifier of the PPS NAL unit which is greater than a value of a second layer identifier of an SPS network abstraction layer (NAL) unit;

obtaining a sequence parameter set (SPS) included in the SPS NAL unit of a coded video layer sequence (CLVS) obtained from the CVS, the SPS NAL unit, which includes the SPS, is directly referenced by the PPS NAL unit, and a value of an SPS parameter_set_id syntax is the same in all SPSs referred to by the CLVS in the CVS; and

decoding a coded picture based on the PPS NAL unit and the SPS NAL unit.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein a temporal identifier of the SPS NAL unit is equal to zero.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the SPS NAL unit is available to the at least one processor before the PPS NAL unit, and

wherein the PPS NAL unit is available to the at least one processor before the PH NAL unit and the at least one coded slice NAL unit.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the PH NAL unit, the at least one coded slice NAL unit, and the PPS NAL unit are included in a single access unit.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the CVS further comprises a step-wise temporal sublayer access (STSA) NAL unit corresponding to an STSA picture,

wherein the STSA NAL unit is not located between the PPS NAL unit and the at least one coded slice NAL unit, and

wherein the PH NAL unit, the at least one coded slice NAL unit, the PPS NAL unit, and the STSA NAL unit are included in a single access unit.

6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein a temporal identifier of the PPS NAL unit is equal to a temporal identifier of the STSA NAL unit, and

wherein a picture order count (POC) of the PPS NAL unit is greater than or equal to a POC of the STSA NAL unit.

7 . A method of encoding using at least one processor, the method comprising:

receiving video data comprising at least one picture; and

encoding the video data and the at least one picture into encoded video data, wherein the encoded video data signals to implement:

obtaining a coded video sequence (CVS) and a picture header (PH) network abstraction layer (NAL) unit included in a picture header of the code;

obtaining at least one coded slice NAL unit corresponding to the PH NAL unit and a picture parameter set (PPS) included in a PPS NAL unit from the coded video sequence, the PPS NAL unit is referenced by the PH NAL unit and the coded slice NAL unit, and the PPS NAL unit includes a first layer identifier of the PPS NAL unit which is greater than a value of a second layer identifier of an SPS network abstraction layer (NAL) unit; and

obtaining a sequence parameter set (SPS) included in the SPS NAL unit of a coded video layer sequence (CLVS) obtained from the CVS, the SPS NAL unit, which includes the SPS, is directly referenced by the PPS NAL unit, and a value of an SPS parameter_set_id syntax is the same in all SPSs referred to by the CLVS in the CVS.

8 . The method of claim 7 , wherein a temporal identifier of the SPS NAL unit is equal to zero.

9 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the SPS NAL unit is to be available before the PPS NAL unit, and

wherein the PPS NAL unit is available before the PH NAL unit and the at least one coded slice NAL unit.

10 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the PH NAL unit, the at least one coded slice NAL unit, and the PPS NAL unit are included in a single access unit.

11 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the CVS further comprises a step-wise temporal sublayer access (STSA) NAL unit corresponding to an STSA picture,

wherein the STSA NAL unit is not located between the PPS NAL unit and the at least one coded slice NAL unit, and

wherein the PH NAL unit, the at least one coded slice NAL unit, the PPS NAL unit, and the STSA NAL unit are included in a single access unit.

12 . The method of claim 11 , wherein a temporal identifier of the PPS NAL unit is equal to a temporal identifier of the STSA NAL unit, and

wherein a picture order count (POC) of the PPS NAL unit is greater than or equal to a POC of the STSA NAL unit.

13 . A method of processing visual media data using at least one processor, the method comprising:

performing a conversion between a visual media file and a bitstream of a visual media data according to a format rule, the bitstream indicating to implement:

obtaining a coded video sequence (CVS) and a picture header (PH) network abstraction layer (NAL) unit included in a picture header of the code;

obtaining at least one coded slice NAL unit corresponding to the PH NAL unit and a picture parameter set (PPS) included in a PPS NAL unit from the coded video sequence, the PPS NAL unit is referenced by the PH NAL unit and the coded slice NAL unit, and the PPS NAL unit includes a first layer identifier of the PPS NAL unit which is greater than a value of a second layer identifier of an SPS network abstraction layer (NAL) unit; and
