Systems and Methods for Decoding Video Encoded Using Predictions that Reference Higher Rate Video Sequences

摘要

Systems and methods for decoding video encoded using predictions that include reference to other higher rate video sequences in accordance with embodiments of the invention are disclosed. One embodiment of the invention includes decoding at least a plurality of the frames in the first video sequence by: identifying information associated with the frame in the first video sequence that identifies a reference frame in the second video sequence; decoding the reference frame from the second video sequence identified by the information in the first video sequence; decoding the frame in the first video sequence using predictions based on the decoded reference frame; and skipping frames in the second video sequence that are not identified as reference frames by the information associated with the frames in the first video sequence.
