摘要

A dependency indication is included at the beginning of a packet, i.e., in the vicinity of an analysis target slice header or parameter set, and is delivered by a signal. This is achieved, for example, by including the dependency indication at the beginning of the slice header, ideally after a syntax element identifying the parameter set, and before the slice address, by using a separate message and providing the dependency indication to an NALU header, or by using a special NALU type used in an NALU holding a dependent slice.
