Method and device for image encoding/decoding based on layer index of ILRP, and recording medium for storing bitstream
An image encoding/decoding method and apparatus are provided. An image decoding method comprises determining whether a current entry in a reference picture list structure is an inter-layer reference picture (ILRP) entry, determining whether a current layer including a current picture has a plurality of direct reference layers, based on the current entry being the ILRP entry, acquiring a layer index of the current entry for a direct reference layer list from a bitstream, based on the current layer having a plurality of direct reference layers, and determining a direct reference layer including the current entry based on the layer index. The obtaining of the layer index may be skipped based on the current layer not having a plurality of direct reference layers.
1. An image decoding method performed by an image decoding apparatus, the image decoding method comprising:
determining whether a current entry in a reference picture list structure is an inter-layer reference picture (ILRP) entry;
determining whether a current layer including a current picture has a plurality of direct reference layers, based on the current entry being the ILRP entry;
obtaining a layer index of the current entry for a direct reference layer list from a bitstream, based on the current layer having a plurality of direct reference layers; and
determining a direct reference layer including the current entry based on the layer index,
wherein the obtaining of the layer index is skipped based on the current layer not having a plurality of direct reference layers.
2. The image decoding method of claim 1 , wherein whether the current layer has a plurality of direct reference layers is determined based on first information derived based on whether each layer in a current video sequence is a direct reference layer for the current layer.
3. The image decoding method of claim 1 , wherein, based on the reference picture list structure being present in a sequence parameter set (SPS), the layer index is obtained from the bitstream regardless of whether the current layer has a plurality of direct reference layers.
4. The image decoding method of claim 3 , wherein whether the reference picture list structure is present in the SPS is determined based on whether an index value of the reference picture list structure is less than the number of reference picture list structures in the SPS.
5. The image decoding method of claim 1 , wherein whether the current layer has a plurality of direct reference layers is determined based on second information obtained from a sequence parameter set (SPS) based on inter layer prediction being allowed for a current video sequence.
6. The image decoding method of claim 5 , wherein the second information indicates the number of direct reference layers referenced by pictures in the current video sequence.
7. The image decoding method of claim 5 , wherein the obtaining of the layer index is skipped based on the second information having a first value indicating a layer index of a direct reference layer referenced by pixels in the current video sequence.
8. The image decoding method of claim 1 , wherein the layer index is set to the same value as a layer index of a direct reference layer of the current layer, based on the obtaining of the layer index being skipped.
9. An image decoding apparatus comprising a memory and at least one processor,
wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
determine whether a current entry in a reference picture list structure is an inter-layer reference picture (ILRP) entry;
determine whether a current layer including a current picture has a plurality of direct reference layers, based on the current entry being the ILRP entry;
obtain a layer index of the current entry for a direct reference layer list from a bitstream, based on the current layer having a plurality of direct reference layers; and
determine a direct reference layer including the current entry based on the layer index,
wherein the obtaining of the layer index is skipped based on the current layer not having a plurality of direct reference layers.
10. An image encoding method performed by an image encoding apparatus, the image encoding method comprising:
determining whether a current entry in a reference picture list structure is an inter-layer reference picture (ILRP) entry;
determining whether a current layer including a current picture has a plurality of direct reference layers, based on the current entry being the ILRP entry; and
encoding a layer index of the current entry for a direct reference layer list, based on the current layer having a plurality of direct reference layers,
wherein encoding of the layer index is skipped based on the current layer not having a plurality of direct reference layers.
11. The image encoding method of claim 10 , wherein, based on the reference picture list structure being present in a sequence parameter set (SPS), the layer index is encoded regardless of whether the current layer has a plurality of direct reference layers.
12. The image encoding method of claim 10 , wherein second information indicating whether the current layer has a plurality of direct reference layers is encoded in a sequence parameter set (SPS) based on inter layer prediction being allowed for a current video sequence.
13. The image encoding method of claim 12 , wherein the second information indicates the number of direct reference layers referenced by pictures in the current video sequence.
14. The image encoding method of claim 12 , wherein encoding of the layer index is skipped based on the second information having a first value indicating a layer index of a direct reference layer referenced by pictures in the current video sequence.
