REFERENCE PICTURE LIST HANDLING

摘要

At least one mode signaling syntax element is provided based on an encoded representation (4) of a picture (3) in a video sequence. The at least one mode signaling syntax element is employed to determine whether at least one final reference picture list is the same for all slices of a same slice type in the picture (3). The at least one mode signaling syntax element thereby signals to a decoder (100) that it does not necessarily have to repeat computationally complex reference picture list construction functions for each slice in the picture (3).
