Abstract

The present invention relates to an image information decoding method. The decoding method includes receiving a bit stream including a Network Abstraction Layer (NAL) unit that includes information related to encoded image, and parsing a NAL unit header of the NAL unit. The NAL unit header may not include 1 bit flag information that represents whether a picture is a non-reference picture or a reference picture in the entire bit stream during encoding.

Claims (20)

1. A video decoding apparatus, comprising:

a decoding module for decoding a first picture;

a parsing module for parsing a slice header of a second picture which is a next picture of the decoded first picture; and

a Decoded Picture Buffer (DPB) for storing the decoded first picture,

wherein the slice header of the second picture includes reference picture information indicating whether the decoded first picture is a reference picture,

wherein the decoded first picture is marked as a reference picture in the DPB, and then whether the decoded first picture marked as a reference picture is a reference picture or a non-reference picture is determined based on the reference picture information, and the decoded first picture marked as a reference picture is marked as a non-reference picture in a case that it is determined that the decoded first picture is a non-reference picture based on the reference picture information included in the slice header of the second picture,

wherein the parsing module parses a transmission unit header of a transmission unit for the first picture, and the transmission unit header does not comprise flag information indicating whether the transmission unit for the first picture is a non-reference picture or a reference picture.

2. A video encoding apparatus, comprising:

an encoding module for encoding a first picture and a slice header of a second picture which is a next picture of the first picture,

wherein the encoding module is further configured to encode a transmission unit header of a transmission unit for the first picture and generate a bitstream including the encoded first picture and the encoded slice header,

wherein the slice header of the second picture includes reference picture information indicating whether the first picture is a reference picture,

wherein the first picture is marked as a reference picture, and the reference picture information included in the slice header of the second picture is encoded based on whether the first picture marked as a reference picture is a reference picture or a non-reference picture,

wherein the first picture marked as a reference picture is marked as a non-reference picture in a case that the reference picture information is determined to indicate that the first picture is determined to be a non-reference picture,

wherein the parsing module parses a transmission unit header of a transmission unit for the first picture, and the transmission unit header does not comprise flag information indicating whether the transmission unit for the first picture is a non-reference picture or a reference picture.

3. A non-transitory computable-readable medium for storing a bitstream that is decoded by a video decoding method, the method comprising:

decoding a first picture; and

parsing a slice header of a second picture which is a next picture of the decoded first picture,

wherein the slice header of the second picture includes reference picture information indicating whether the decoded first picture is a reference picture,

wherein the decoded first picture is marked as a reference picture in the DPB, and then whether the decoded first picture marked as a reference picture is a reference picture or a non-reference picture is determined based on the reference picture information, and the decoded first picture marked as a reference picture is marked as a non-reference picture in a case that it is determined that the decoded first picture is a non-reference picture based on the reference picture information included in the slice header of the second picture,

wherein the parsing module parses a transmission unit header of a transmission unit for the first picture, and the transmission unit header does not comprise flag information indicating whether the transmission unit for the first picture is a non-reference picture or a reference picture.
