Abstract

Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for video decoding that support a plurality of layers. The method for video decoding includes acquiring information indicating whether tile information exists and acquiring the tile information based on the information indicating whether tile information exists.

Claims (25)

1. A method for video decoding supporting a plurality of layers with a decoding apparatus, the method comprising:

decoding, with the decoding apparatus, a tiles not in use flag from a bitstream; and

decoding, with the decoding apparatus, a tile boundaries aligned flag from the bitstream based on the tile not in use flag,

wherein the tile not in use flag indicates whether all pictures belonging to a video sequence consist of a single tile,

wherein the tile boundaries aligned flag indicates whether a current layer coincides with a reference layer in a boundary of the tile.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the tiles not in use flag is signaled in response to a Video Usability Information (VUI) being present.

3. The method of claim 1 , the method further comprising:

decoding, with the decoding apparatus, a loop filter across titles enabled flag from the bitstream in response to the tile not in use flag being equal to 0,

wherein the loop filter across tiles enabled flag indicates whether an in-loop filtering is performed across a boundary of a tile in a picture of the current layer.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein in response to the file not in use flag being equal to 0, the tile boundaries aligned flag is decoded from the bitstream,

wherein in response to the tile not in use flag being equal to 1, the tile not in use flag indicates that all pictures belonging to a video sequences consist of a single tile.

5. A method for video encoding supporting a plurality of layers with a encoding apparatus, the method comprising:

determining, with the encoding apparatus, whether all pictures belonging to a video sequence consist of a single tile;

encoding, with the encoding apparatus, a tiles not in use flag based on the determination result;

encoding, with the encoding apparatus, a tile boundaries aligned flag based on the tile not in use flag; and

generating, with the encoding apparatus, a bitstream comprising either one or both of the tiles not in use flag and the tile boundaries aligned flag,

wherein the tile not in use flag indicates whether all pictures belonging to a video sequence consist of a single tile,

wherein the tile boundaries aligned flag indicates whether a current layer coincides with a reference layer in a boundary of the tile.

6. A non-transitory computer readable recording medium for storing a bitstream, wherein the bitstream is generated by a method for video encoding supporting a plurality of layers with a encoding apparatus, the method comprising:

determining, with the encoding apparatus, whether all pictures belonging to a video sequence consist of a single tile;

encoding, with the encoding apparatus, a tiles not in use flag based on the determination result;

encoding, with the encoding apparatus, a tile boundaries aligned flag based on the tile not in use flag; and

generating, with the encoding apparatus, the bitstream comprising either one or both of the tiles not in use flag and the tile boundaries aligned flag,

wherein the tile not in use flag indicates whether all pictures belonging to a video sequence consist of a single tile,

wherein the tile boundaries aligned flag indicates whether a current layer coincides with a reference layer in a boundary of the tile.
