Abstract

Claims (52)

1. A method of processing video data, comprising:

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

wherein the first rule includes a bitstream constraint which specifies that a number of entries in a reference picture list of the current picture is greater than 0 in response to (1) one or more slices in the current picture being allowed to have a slice type other than an Intra (I) slice type, and (2) reference picture list (RPL) information being present in a picture header,

wherein the current picture of the video comprises a current video block,

wherein a range of a value of a fourth syntax element specifying a number of points in a quantization parameter (QP) table associated with the conversion of the current video block is dependent on one or more other syntax elements comprising a fifth syntax element according to a second rule, and

wherein the second rule specifies that the range of the value of the fourth syntax element is based on a value of the fifth syntax element specifying a starting luma and chroma QP used to describe the QP table.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the reference picture list is a reference picture list 0.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein a first syntax flag in the picture header indicates whether the one or more slices in the current picture are allowed to have the slice type other than the Intra (I) slice type.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein a second syntax flag in a picture parameter set indicates whether the RPL information is present in the picture header instead of slice headers.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the number of entries in the reference picture list of the current picture is indicated by a third syntax element included in the bitstream.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the QP table is an i-th chroma QP mapping table.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein a maximum allowed value of the fourth syntax element is equal to (K—the value of the fifth syntax element), wherein K is a positive integer.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the fifth syntax element is represented as sps_qp_table_start_minus26 [i] whose value plus 26 specifies the starting luma and chroma QP used to describe the i-th chroma QP mapping table.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the maximum allowed value of the fourth syntax element is equal to (36-sps_qp_table_start_minus26 [i]).

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second rule further specifies that the current picture is a recovery point picture in response to the current picture being a gradual decoding refresh (GDR) picture with a recovery picture order count (POC) count of 0, and wherein the recovery POC count specifies a recovery point of decoded pictures in an output order.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the conversion comprises encoding the video into the bitstream.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the conversion comprises decoding the video from the bitstream.

13. 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 current picture of a video and a bitstream of the video according to a first rule,

wherein the first rule includes a bitstream constraint which specifies that a number of entries in a reference picture list of the current picture is greater than 0 in response to (1) one or more slices in the current picture being allowed to have a slice type other than an Intra (I) slice type, and (2) reference picture list (RPL) information being present in a picture header,

wherein the current picture of the video comprises a current video block,

wherein a range of a value of a fourth syntax element specifying a number of points in a quantization parameter (QP) table associated with the conversion of the current video block is dependent on one or more other syntax elements comprising a fifth syntax element according to a second rule, and

wherein the second rule specifies that the range of the value of the fourth syntax element is based on a value of the fifth syntax element specifying a starting luma and chroma QP used to describe the QP table.

14. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the reference picture list is a reference picture list 0,

wherein a first syntax flag in the picture header indicates whether the one or more slices in the current picture are allowed to have the slice type other than the Intra (I) slice type,

wherein a second syntax flag in a picture parameter set indicates whether the RPL information is present in the picture header instead of slice headers, and

wherein the number of entries in the reference picture list of the current picture is indicated by a third syntax element included in the bitstream.

15. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the QP table is an i-th chroma QP mapping table,

wherein a maximum allowed value of the fourth syntax element is equal to (K—the value of the fifth syntax element), wherein K is a positive integer,

wherein the fifth syntax element is represented as sps_qp_table_start_minus26 [i] whose value plus 26 specifies the starting luma and chroma QP used to describe the i-th chroma QP mapping table, and

wherein the maximum allowed value of the fourth syntax element is equal to (36-sps_qp_table_start_minus26 [i]).

16. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the second rule further specifies that the current picture is a recovery point picture in response to the current picture being a gradual decoding refresh (GDR) picture with a recovery picture order count (POC) count of 0, and wherein the recovery POC count specifies a recovery point of decoded pictures in an output order.

17. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that cause a processor to:

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

wherein the first rule includes a bitstream constraint which specifies that a number of entries in a reference picture list of the current picture is greater than 0 in response to (1) one or more slices in the current picture being allowed to have a slice type other than an Intra (I) slice type, and (2) reference picture list (RPL) information being present in a picture header,

wherein the current picture of the video comprises a current video block,

wherein a range of a value of a fourth syntax element specifying a number of points in a quantization parameter (QP) table associated with the conversion of the current video block is dependent on one or more other syntax elements comprising a fifth syntax element according to a second rule, and

wherein the second rule specifies that the range of the value of the fourth syntax element is based on a value of the fifth syntax element specifying a starting luma and chroma QP used to describe the QP table.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 17 , wherein the reference picture list is a reference picture list 0,

wherein a first syntax flag in the picture header indicates whether the one or more slices in the current picture are allowed to have the slice type other than the Intra (I) slice type,

wherein a second syntax flag in a picture parameter set indicates whether the RPL information is present in the picture header instead of slice headers, and

wherein the number of entries in the reference picture list of the current picture is indicated by a third syntax element included in the bitstream.

19. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a bitstream of a video which is generated by a method performed by a video processing apparatus, wherein the method comprises:

generating the bitstream of the video from a current picture in the video according to a first rule,

wherein the first rule includes a bitstream constraint which specifies that a number of entries in a reference picture list of the current picture is greater than 0 in response to (1) one or more slices in the current picture being allowed to have a slice type other than an Intra (I) slice type, and (2) reference picture list (RPL) information being present in a picture header,

wherein the current picture of the video comprises a current video block,

wherein a range of a value of a fourth syntax element specifying a number of points in a quantization parameter (QP) table associated with a conversion of the current video block is dependent on one or more other syntax elements comprising a fifth syntax element according to a second rule, and
