METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR VIDEO CODING

摘要

There is provided a slice header prediction method and apparatuses for 3D video encoding and decoding. In some example embodiments the following features can be derived from the header prediction method. Any decoding order of texture and depth view components may be supported. Also flexible prediction of syntax elements from any slice header appearing earlier in decoding order within the same access unit is allowed. The prediction can be turned on or off on view component basis. The syntax elements of the slice header may be categorized in a few sets and the use of the prediction as well as the prediction source for each set can be individually controlled. By using some example embodiments of the method all syntax elements of the slice header may be predicted.

1. A method for encoding three-dimensional (3D) video content comprising a texture view component and a depth view component, comprising:
encoding an uncompressed picture into a coded picture comprising a coded slice of the texture view component and a coded slice of the depth view component, the encoding comprising: classifying syntax elements for the slice of the depth view component into a first set and a second set; determining syntax element values for the first set and the second set; encoding syntax element values for the first set selectively in a group of slices parameter set or a slice header of the slice of the depth view component;
providing an indication, in the slice header of the slice of the depth view component, whether the syntax element values for the first set is to be inferred from the group of slices parameter set, or included in the slice header of the slice of the depth view component; and encoding the syntax element values of the second set in the slice header of the slice of the depth view component.
