Abstract

Disclosed herein are a method and apparatus for generating/receiving a media file supporting random access in sample units and a method of transmitting a media file. The media file receiving method may comprise obtaining one or more tracks and sample groups from the media file and processing the video data in the media file by reconstructing a sample included in the track based on the sample group. Based on that samples mapped to a stream access point sample group of a predetermined type or a random access recovery point sample group are present in the track, a current sample among the mapped samples may be constrained to include at least one intra random access point (IRAP) subpicture, and a sample belonging to the same coded layer video sequence (CLVS) as the current sample and following the current sample in decoding order may be constrained to include at least one IRAP subpicture with the same subpicture index value as the non-IRAP subpicture, based on the current sample including a non-IRAP subpicture.

Claims (34)

1. A media file receiving method performed by a media file receiving apparatus for receiving a media file of a predetermined format, the media file including video data, the media file receiving method comprising:

obtaining one or more track and sample group from the media file; and

processing the video data in the media file by reconstructing a sample included in the track based on the sample group,

wherein, based on that samples mapped to a stream access point sample group of a predetermined type or a random access recovery point sample group are present in the track,

a current sample among the mapped samples is constrained to include at least one intra random access point (IRAP) subpicture, and

based on that the current sample includes a non-IRAP subpicture, a sample belonging to a same coded layer video sequence (CLVS) as the current sample and following the current sample in decoding order is constrained to include at least one IRAP subpicture with a same subpicture index value as the non-IRAP subpicture.

2. The media file receiving method of claim 1 ,

wherein each picture included in the mapped samples is constrained to have a mixed network abstraction layer (NAL) unit type.

3. The media file receiving method of claim 1 ,

wherein each subpicture included in the mapped samples is constrained to be treated as a picture.

4. The media file receiving method of claim 1 ,

wherein all pictures included in a target layer of a sample mapped to the random access recovery point sample group are not gradual decoding refresh (GDR) pictures.

5. The media file receiving method of claim 1 ,

wherein the mapped samples have only a mixed NAL unit type of an IRAP type.

6. The media file receiving method of claim 1 ,

wherein a TemporalID value of the current sample is constrained to be 0.

7. A media file generating method performed by a media file generating apparatus for generating a media file of a predetermined format, the media file including video data, the media file generating method comprising:

encoding the video data;

generating one or more track and sample group for the encoded video data; and

generating the media file based on the generated track and sample group,

wherein, based on that samples mapped to a stream access point sample group of a predetermined type or a random access recovery point sample group are present in the track,

a current sample among the mapped samples is constrained to include at least one intra random access point (IRAP) subpicture, and

based on that the current sample includes a non-IRAP subpicture, a sample belonging to a same coded layer video sequence (CLVS) as the current sample and following the current sample in decoding order is constrained to include at least one IRAP subpicture with a same subpicture index value as the non-IRAP subpicture.

8. The media file generating method of claim 7 ,

wherein each picture included in the mapped samples is constrained to have a mixed network abstraction layer (NAL) unit type.

9. The media file generating method of claim 7 ,

wherein each subpicture included in the mapped samples is constrained to be treated as a picture.

10. The media file generating method of claim 7 ,

wherein all pictures included in a target layer of a sample mapped to the random access recovery point sample group are not gradual decoding refresh (GDR) pictures.

11. The media file generating method of claim 7 ,

wherein the mapped samples have only a mixed NAL unit type of an IRAP type.

12. The media file generating method of claim 7 ,

wherein a TemporalID value of the current sample is constrained to be 0.

13. A method of transmitting a media file generated by the media file generating method of claim 7 .
