DEVICE AND METHOD FOR SCALABLE CODING OF VIDEO INFORMATION

摘要

An apparatus configured to code video information includes a memory unit and a processor in communication with the memory unit. The memory unit is configured to store video information associated with a first layer and a second layer. The processor is configured to decode first layer pictures of the first layer, store the decoded first layer pictures in a decoded picture buffer, determine whether second layer pictures having no corresponding first layer pictures are to be coded, and in response to determining that second layer pictures having no corresponding first layer pictures are to be coded, process an indication that one or more decoded first layer pictures stored in the decoded picture buffer are to be removed. The processor may encode or decode the video information.
