Abstract

An image decoding method may include: obtaining, from a sequence parameter set of a bitstream, information indicating a plurality of first reference image lists for an image sequence including a current image; obtaining, from a group header of the bitstream, an indicator for a current block group including a current block in the current image; obtaining a second reference image list by modifying a first reference image list indicated by the indicator, from among the plurality of first reference image lists, into the second reference image list; and prediction-decoding a lower block of the current block based on a second reference image included in the second reference image list.

Claims (42)

1. An image decoding method comprising:

obtaining, from a sequence parameter set of a bitstream, information about a plurality of first reference picture lists for a picture sequence including a current picture;

obtaining, from a slice header of the bitstream, an indicator for a current slice in the current picture;

if a first reference picture list indicated by the indicator among the plurality of first reference picture lists does not include a picture order count (POC)-related information about a long-term type reference picture, obtaining the POC-related information about the long-term type reference picture from the slice header of the bitstream;

constituting a second reference picture list by using the POC-related information about the long-term type reference picture and a POC-related information about a short-term type reference picture included in the first reference picture list indicated by the indicator;

obtaining a predicted sample of a current sample included in the current picture based on a reference picture included in the second reference picture list;

obtaining information indicating a post-processing parameter set from among a plurality of post-processing parameter sets, the post-processing parameter set being applied to luma mapping for the current picture;

obtaining one or more luma mapping parameters from the post-processing parameter set of the bitstream, the post-processing parameter set being different from the sequence parameter set;

obtaining a modified predicted sample by changing the predicted sample based on the one or more luma mapping parameters obtained from the post-processing parameter set; and

obtaining a reconstructed sample of the current sample included the current picture based on the modified predicted sample.

2. An image decoding apparatus comprising:

a processor is configured to:

obtain, from a sequence parameter set of a bitstream, information about a plurality of first reference picture lists for a picture sequence including a current picture;

obtain, from a slice header of the bitstream, an indicator for a current slice in the current picture;

if a first reference picture list indicated by the indicator among the plurality of first reference picture lists does not include a picture order count (POC)-related information about a long-term type reference picture, obtain the POC-related information about the long-term type reference picture from the slice header of the bitstream;

constitute a second reference picture list by using the POC-related information about the long-term type reference picture and a POC-related information about a short-term type reference picture included in the first reference picture list indicated by the indicator;

obtain a predicted sample of a current sample included in the current picture based on a reference picture included in the second reference picture list,

obtain information indicating a post-processing parameter set from among a plurality of post-processing parameter sets, the post-processing parameter set being applied to luma mapping for the current picture;

obtain one or more luma mapping parameters from the post-processing parameter set of the bitstream, the post-processing parameter set being different from the sequence parameter set;

obtain a modified predicted sample by changing the predicted sample based on the one or more luma mapping parameters obtained from the post-processing parameter set; and

obtain a reconstructed sample of the current sample included the current picture based on the modified predicted sample.

3. An image encoding method comprising:

determining a plurality of first reference picture lists for a picture sequence including a current picture;

selecting, from among the plurality of first reference picture lists, a first reference picture list for a current slice in the current picture;

if the selected first reference picture list among the plurality of first reference picture lists does not include a picture order count (POC)-related information about a long-term type reference picture, determining the POC-related information about the long-term type reference picture;

constituting a second reference picture list by using the POC-related information about the long-term type reference picture and a POC-related information about a short-term type reference picture included in the selected first reference picture list; and

obtaining a predicted sample of a current sample included in the current picture based on a reference picture included in the second reference picture list;

selecting a post-processing parameter set from among a plurality of post-processing parameter sets, the post-processing parameter set being applied to luma mapping for the current picture;

identifying one or more luma mapping parameters corresponding to the post-processing parameter set, the post-processing parameter set being different from the sequence parameter set;

encoding information about the plurality of first reference picture lists for the picture sequence including the current picture, an indicator for the current slice in the current picture, the POC-related information about the long-term type reference picture, and the one or more luma mapping parameters; and

generating a bitstream including the encoded information, the encoded indicator, the encoded POC-related information, and the encoded one or more luma mapping parameters.

4. A method for transmitting a bitstream, the method comprising:

determining a plurality of first reference picture lists for a picture sequence including a current picture;

selecting, from among the plurality of first reference picture lists, a first reference picture list for a current slice in the current picture;

if the selected first reference picture list among the plurality of first reference picture lists does not include a picture order count (POC)-related information about a long-term type reference picture, determining the POC-related information about the long-term type reference picture;

constituting a second reference picture list by using the POC-related information about the long-term type reference picture and a POC-related information about a short-term type reference picture included in the selected first reference picture list; and

obtaining a predicted sample of a current sample included in the current picture based on a reference picture included in the second reference picture list;

selecting a post-processing parameter set from among a plurality of post-processing parameter sets, the post-processing parameter set being applied to luma mapping for the current picture;

identifying one or more luma mapping parameters corresponding to the post-processing parameter set, the post-processing parameter set is different from the sequence parameter set;

encoding information about the plurality of first reference picture lists for the picture sequence including the current picture, an indicator for the current slice in the current picture, the POC-related information about the long-term type reference picture, and the one or more luma mapping parameters;

generating the bitstream including the encoded information, the encoded indicator, the encoded POC-related information, and the encoded one or more luma mapping parameters; and

transmitting the bitstream from an image encoding apparatus to an image decoding apparatus.
