SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR USING REDUNDANT PICTURES FOR INTER-LAYER PREDICTION IN SCALABLE VIDEO CODING

摘要

A system and method for indicating whether a redundant picture can be used to replace a corresponding primary picture for inter-layer prediction. Various embodiments involve the use of a property of a redundant picture in relation to the corresponding primary picture. Based on such a property, a decoder can derive whether the redundant picture or a portion thereof can be utilized for inter-layer prediction of intra texture, macroblock coding mode, motion, and/or residual properties.
