Systems and methods for signaling temporal sublayer information in video coding
This disclosure relates to video coding and more particularly to techniques for signaling temporal sublayer information for coded video. According to an aspect of an invention, a flag indicating whether a syntax element specifying a maximum number of temporal sublayers that are present in each coded layer video sequence referring to a sequence parameter set is present in the sequence parameter set is signaled; and the syntax element specifying a maximum number of temporal sublayers is conditionally signaled based on the value of the flag.
1. A method of signaling a temporal sublayer information for video data, the method comprising:
signaling a flag indicating whether a first syntax element related to a maximum number of temporal sublayers that are present in a coded layer video sequence is present, wherein the first syntax element is a 3-bit unsigned integer, and the flag and the first syntax element precede a second syntax element that is required to be equal to zero for a conforming bitstream; and
conditionally signaling the first syntax element based on a value of the flag.
2. A method of decoding video data, the method comprising:
parsing a flag indicating whether a first syntax element related to a maximum number of temporal sublayers that are present in a coded layer video sequence is present, wherein the first syntax element is a 3-bit unsigned integer, and the flag and the first syntax element precede a second syntax element that is required to be equal to zero for a confirming bitstream; and
conditionally parsing the first syntax element based on a value of the flag.
3. A device comprising one or more processors configured to execute one or more instructions to perform the method of claim 1 .
4. The device of claim 3 , wherein the device further comprises a video encoder.
5. A device comprising one or more processors configured to execute one or more instructions to perform the method of claim 2 .
6. The device of claim 5 , wherein the device further comprises a video decoder.
