Abstract

The present invention discloses a video decoding method performed by a video decoding device. The video decoding method according to an embodiment may include the steps of: obtaining NAL unit type information indicating a type of a current network abstraction layer (NAL) unit from a bitstream; and decoding, when the NAL unit type information indicates that the NAL unit type of the current NAL unit is an encoded data for an slice, the slice based on whether a mixed NAL unit type is applied to a current picture.

Claims (34)

1. A video decoding method performed by a video decoding device, the method comprising:

obtaining a first flag indicating whether a current picture includes subpictures having different network abstraction layer (NAL) unit types; and

obtaining second flags respectively corresponding to the subpictures,

wherein each of the second flags indicates whether a corresponding subpicture is treated as a picture in a decoding process,

wherein, when the first flag indicates that the current picture includes subpictures having different NAL unit types, second flags for all subpictures having a NAL unit type equal to Random Access Decodable Leading (RADL) among the subpictures are restricted to have a first value, and

wherein the first value indicates that the corresponding subpicture is treated as a picture in a decoding process.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein, in a decoding process excluding in-loop filtering, a subpicture whose second flag is equal to the first value is treated as a picture and decoded to be independent from other subpictures.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein, when a first NAL unit of the picture has a NAL unit type equal to one of Instantaneous Decoder Refresh (IDR) or Clean Random Access (CRA), a second NAL unit of the picture is restricted to have a NAL unit type excluding Random Access Skipped Leading (RASL) and RADL.

4. The method according to claim 3 , the second NAL unit has the NAL unit type equal to one of IDR and CRA, and a NAL unit type of the second NAL unit is different from a NAL unit type of the first NAL unit.

5. The method according to claim 3 , the second NAL unit has a NAL unit type equal to Trailing (TRAIL).

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein, when the picture includes a subpicture having a NAL unit type equal to Random Access Skipped Leading (RASL) and another subpicture having the NAL unit type equal to RADL, the picture is treated as a RASL picture in a decoding process.

7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the RASL picture is not output.

8. A video decoding device comprising:

a memory configured to store one or more instructions; and

a processor configured to:

obtain a first flag indicating whether a current picture includes subpictures having different network abstraction layer (NAL) unit types; and

obtain second flags respectively corresponding to the subpictures,

wherein each of the second flags indicates whether a corresponding subpicture is treated as a picture in a decoding process,

wherein, when the first flag indicates that the current picture includes subpictures having different NAL unit types, second flags for all subpictures having a NAL unit type equal to Random Access Decodable Leading (RADL) among the subpictures are restricted to have a first value, and

wherein the first value indicates that the corresponding subpicture is treated as a picture in a decoding process.

9. A video encoding method performed by a video encoding device, the method comprising:

determining whether a current picture includes subpictures having different network abstraction layer (NAL) unit types;

determining whether the subpicture is treated as a picture in a decoding process; and

generating a first flag indicating whether the current picture includes subpictures having different NAL unit types and second flags respectively corresponding to the subpictures, wherein

wherein each of the second flags indicates whether a corresponding subpicture is treated as a picture in a decoding process,

wherein, when the first flag indicates that the current picture includes subpictures having different NAL unit types, second flags for all subpictures having a NAL unit type equal to Random Access Decodable Leading (RADL) among the subpictures are restricted to have a first value, and

wherein the first value indicates that the subpicture is treated as a picture in a decoding process.

10. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a bitstream, the bitstream being encoded by a video encoding method performed by a video encoding device, the method comprising:

determining whether a current picture includes subpictures having different network abstraction layer (NAL) unit types;

determining whether the subpicture is treated as a picture in a decoding process; and

generating a first flag indicating whether the current picture includes subpictures having different NAL unit types and second flags respectively corresponding to the subpictures,

wherein each of the second flags indicates whether a corresponding subpicture is treated as a picture in a decoding process,

wherein, when the first flag indicates that the current picture includes subpictures having different NAL unit types, second flags for all subpictures having a NAL unit type equal to Random Access Decodable Leading (RADL) among the subpictures are restricted to have a first value, and

wherein the first value indicates that the subpicture is treated as a picture in a decoding process.
