Abstract

Video processing methods and apparatuses include receiving input video data associated with a current picture, signaling or parsing a first syntax element, wherein the first syntax element indicates whether to infer or predict subpicture information of a current layer of the current picture from a target layer; signaling or parsing a second syntax element to determine information about the target layer for obtaining the subpicture information of the current layer of the current picture, and encoding or decoding the current layer of the current picture using the subpicture information of the current layer of the current picture.

Claims (17)

1. A video processing method for pictures partitioned into subpictures in a video encoding or decoding system, comprising:

receiving input video data associated with a current picture;

when inter-layer coding is enabled for the current picture, signaling or parsing a first syntax element, wherein the first syntax element indicates whether to infer or predict subpicture information of a current layer of the current picture from a target layer;

when the first syntax element indicates that information of the current layer of the current picture is predicted or inferred from the target layer, signaling or parsing a second syntax element to determine information about the target layer for obtaining the subpicture information of the current layer of the current picture; and

encoding or decoding the current layer of the current picture using the subpicture information of the current layer of the current picture.

2. The method of claim 1 , the subpicture information of the current layer of the current picture comprises subpicture layout or subpicture IDs of the current layer of the current picture.

3. An apparatus of video processing method in a video encoding or decoding system, the apparatus comprising:

one or more electronic circuits configured for:

receiving input video data associated with a current picture;

when inter-layer coding is enabled for the current picture, signaling or parsing a first syntax element, wherein the first syntax element indicates whether to infer or predict subpicture information of a current layer of the current picture from a target layer;

when the first syntax element indicates that information of the current layer of the current picture is predicted or inferred from the target layer, signaling or parsing a second syntax element to determine information about the target layer for obtaining the subpicture information of the current layer of the current picture; and

encoding or decoding the current layer of the current picture using the subpicture information of the current layer of the current picture.

4. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing program instruction causing a processing circuit of an apparatus to perform a video processing method for pictures partitioned into subpictures, and the method comprising:

receiving input video data associated with a current picture;

when inter-layer coding is enabled for the current picture, signaling or parsing a first syntax element, wherein the first syntax element indicates whether to infer or predict subpicture information of a current layer of the current picture from a target layer;

when the first syntax element indicates that information of the current layer of the current picture is predicted or inferred from the target layer, signaling or parsing a second syntax element to determine information about the target layer for obtaining the subpicture information of the current layer of the current picture; and

encoding or decoding the current layer of the current picture using the subpicture information of the current layer of the current picture.
