Abstract

An encoder includes memory and circuitry coupled to the memory. The circuitry stores a total number of temporal sub-layers in a bitstream Into either a picture timing supplemental enhancement information (SEI) message or a buffering period SEI message, and encodes the total number of the temporal sub-layers.

Claims (22)

1 . An encoder comprising:

memory; and

circuitry coupled to the memory,

wherein in operation, the circuitry:

stores first information indicating a number of temporal sub-layers into a buffering period supplemental enhancement information (SEI) message; and

generates a bitstream including the buffering period SEI message and a picture timing SEI message, wherein

the picture timing SEI message includes a loop structure repeated the number of times indicated by the first information, and each of loops includes a parameter related to a timing to extract data from a coded picture buffer (CPB).

2 . An encoding method comprising:

storing first information indicating a number of temporal sub-layers into a buffering period supplemental enhancement information (SEI) message; and

generating a bitstream including the buffering period SEI message and a picture timing SEI message, wherein

the picture timing SEI message includes a loop structure repeated the number of times indicated by the first information, and each of loops includes a parameter related to a timing to extract data from a coded picture buffer (CPB).

3 . A decoder comprising:

memory; and

circuitry coupled to the memory,

wherein in operation, the circuitry:

obtains a buffering period supplemental enhancement information (SEI) message and a picture timing SEI message; and

obtains first information indicating a number of temporal sub-layers from the buffering period SEI message, wherein

the picture timing SEI message includes a loop structure repeated the number of times indicated by the first information, and each of loops includes a parameter related to a timing to extract data from a coded picture buffer (CPB).

4 . A decoding method comprising:

obtaining a buffering period supplemental enhancement information (SEI) message and a picture timing SEI message; and

obtaining first information indicating a number of temporal sub-layers from the buffering period SEI message, wherein

the picture timing SEI message includes a loop structure repeated the number of times indicated by the first information, and each of loops includes a parameter related to a timing to extract data from a coded picture buffer (CPB).
