Video decoding device and video decoding method
A video decoding device, in the case where a video of the progressive format is inputted, processes a frame as a picture, in the case where a video of the interlace format is inputted, processes a field as a picture. A video decoding device performs display control corresponding to a format of the both video by analyzing display control information in display control information analyzer. The display control information includes sequence unit display control information which is commonly used in a display process of all pictures that belong to a sequence to be decoded and picture unit display control information which is individually used in a display process of a picture to be decoded. A second code string analyzer acquires each of the sequence unit display control information and the picture unit display control information from an extended information area in units of pictures.
1. A decoding method for decoding an encoded bit stream which is generated by encoding video in units of pictures based on a predetermined encoding standard, the decoding method comprising:
acquiring video format information indicating whether the video is encoded with a video format among an interlace format of the predetermined encoding standard or a progressive format of the predetermined encoding standard, from a header of a sequence which is a unit of the video,
(i) setting each of all frames or all fields which are included in the video, as a picture included in the video, regardless of whether the video format is the interlace format of the predetermined encoding standard or the progressive format of the predetermined encoding standard, and (ii) setting a Picture Order Count (POC) indicating display order to each of the pictures included in the video one by one, the POC being different each other,
decoding a picture to be decoded, from among the pictures included in the video, with reference to a picture previously decoded before decoding the picture to be decoded, the picture to be decoded being a field or a frame, and
outputting the picture to be decoded based on the video format, after the decoding the picture to be decoded, wherein
in the decoding, picture data of the picture to be decoded is always decoded with a syntax structure, which is a syntax structure for decoding the progressive format of the predetermined encoding standard regardless of whether the video format is the interlace format of the predetermined encoding standard or the progressive format of the predetermined encoding standard.
2. The decoding method according to claim 1 , further comprising acquiring display parameter indicating the display format of the picture to be decoded, from an extended information area in units of pictures, the display format being set corresponding to the video format, determining whether a picture to be displayed, which has already been decoded, is to be displayed as a frame or a field based on the display parameter.
3. A decoding device for decoding an encoded bit stream which is generated by encoding video in units of pictures based on a predetermined encoding standard, the decoding device comprising:
an acquirer that acquirers video format information indicating whether the video is encoded with a video format among an interlace format of the predetermined encoding standard or a progressive format of the predetermined encoding standard, from a header of a sequence which is a unit of the video,
a picture setter that (i) each of all frames or all fields which are included in the video, as a picture included in the video, regardless of whether the video format is the interlace format of the predetermined encoding standard or the progressive format of the predetermined encoding standard, and (ii) sets a Picture Order Count (POC) indicating display order to each of the pictures included in the video, the POC being different each other,
a decoder that decodes a picture to be decoded, from among the pictures included in the video, with reference to a picture previously decoded before decoding the picture to be decoded, the picture to be decoded being a field or a frame, and
an outputter that outputs the picture to be decoded based on the video format, after the decoder decodes the picture to be decoded, wherein
the decoder always decodes picture data of the picture to be decoded with a syntax structure, which is a syntax structure for decoding the progressive format of the predetermined encoding standard regardless of whether the video format is the interlace format of the predetermined encoding standard or the progressive format of the predetermined encoding standard.
4. The decocting device according to claim 3 , wherein the decoder decodes a top field and a bottom field belonging to the same frame continually in the decoding order, when the video format is the interlace format of the predetermined encoding standard.
5. The decocting device according to claim 3 , wherein the acquirer acquirers a display parameter indicating the display format of the picture to be decoded, from an extended information area in units of pictures, the display format being set corresponding to the video format, and the decoding device further comprises a display determiner that determines whether a picture to be displayed, which has already been decoded, is to be displayed as a frame or a field based on the display parameter.
6. The decoding device according to claim 4 , wherein the acquirer acquirers a display parameter indicating the display format of the picture to be decoded, from an extended information area in units of pictures, the display format being set corresponding to the video format, and the decoding device further comprises a display determines that determines whether a picture to be displayed which has already been decoded is to be displayed as a frame or a field based on the display parameter.
