METHOD FOR REFERENCE PICTURE MANAGEMENT INVOLVING MULTIVIEW VIDEO CODING

摘要

A series of memory management operation commands are described for the memory management of decoded reference pictures that are stored within a memory (1110), a multiview video coding operation. The video coding operation will consider the view for which a picture is to be coded as compared against the view associated with the stored reference picture (1120), where a memory management operation command is enabled affecting the memory status of the stored reference pictures where such an effect may be designation of a reference picture (1 125) being a short term reference picture, a long term reference picture, or designating the reference picture as not being needed.
