Abstract:
An image coding method includes performing: context arithmetic coding (S711) to consecutively code (i) first information indicating whether or not to perform SAO processing for a first region and (ii) second information indicating whether or not to use, in the SAO processing for the first region, information on SAO processing for a region except the first region; and bypass arithmetic coding (S712) to code other information after the first and second information are coded. The other information includes third information indicating whether the SAO processing is edge or band offset processing. In the performing of context arithmetic coding (S711), an initial bit value in a bit string of a parameter indicating a type of the SAO processing is coded as the first information. In the performing of bypass arithmetic coding (S712), a value of a next bit following the initial bit in the bit string of the parameter is coded as the third information.

A motion vector calculation method which attains a higher compression rate, includes: a selection step of selecting one of at least one reference motion vector of a reference block; and a calculation step of calculating a motion vector of a current block to be processed, using the one reference motion vector selected in the selection step, and in the selection step, when the reference block has two reference motion vectors (S121), one of the two reference motion vectors is selected (S123, S124) based on whether the reference block is located before or after the current block in display time order, and when the reference block has only one reference motion vector (S125, S127), the one reference motion vector is selected (S126, S128).
Abstract:
With an image coding method which allows reduction of processing loads, when pictures included in a video signal are classified into layers so as to belong to their respective layers, a picture that belongs, to the second layer that is located in a range restricted according to the first layer to which a current picture to be coded that is one of the pictures belongs, is referred to as a reference picture for the current picture (S10), and the current picture is coded based on the reference picture (S11).
Abstract:
An image decoding method for decoding, on a block-by-block basis, image data included in a coded bitstream includes: obtaining a fixed number of merging candidates each of which is a candidate set of a prediction direction, a motion vector, and a reference picture index which are to be referenced in decoding of a current block; and obtaining, from the coded bitstream, an index for identifying a merging candidate for the current block, wherein the fixed number of merging candidates include: one or more first candidates each derived based on a prediction direction, a motion vector, and a reference picture index which have been used for decoding a neighboring block spatially or temporally neighboring the current block; and one or more second candidates having a predetermined fixed. The fixed number is greater than or equal to two.
Abstract:
A method of encoding a video into a coded video bitstream with temporal motion vector prediction comprises: determining a value of a flag for indicating whether temporal motion vector prediction is used or not used for the inter-picture prediction of a sub-picture unit of a picture; and writing the flag having the value into a header of the sub-picture unit or a header of the picture; wherein if the flag indicates that temporal motion vector prediction is used, the method further comprises: creating a first list of motion vector predictors comprising a plurality of motion vector predictors including at least one temporal motion vector predictor derived from at least one motion vector from a collocated reference picture; selecting a motion vector predictor out of the first list; and writing a first parameter into the coded video bitstream for indicating the selected motion vector predictor out of the first list.

Abstract:
An image decoding method of decoding, on a block-by-block basis, image data included in a coded stream includes: deriving candidates for an intra prediction mode to be used for intra prediction for a decoding target block, the number of the candidates constantly being a plural number; obtaining, from the coded stream, an index for identifying one of the derived candidates for the intra prediction mode; and determining, based on the obtained index, one of the derived candidates for the intra prediction mode as the intra prediction mode to be used for intra prediction for the decoding target block.
Abstract:
A transmitting method according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes: transmitting video control information for reproduction of video data having an individually reproducible unit; transmitting the video data; determining a transmission order of audio control information for reproduction of audio data in a reproduction interval corresponding to a reproduction interval of the video data in such a way that the audio control information is transmitted after the video control information, and transmitting the audio control information according to the determined transmission order; and transmitting the audio data. Thus, in the receiving apparatus, a delay time from reception of data to reproduction of video and audio is shortened.
Abstract:
A transmission method for transmitting encoded data obtained by hierarchically encoding a video image, includes: a generating step of generating an encoded stream including a packet which is obtained by packetizing the encoded data and to which at least a different packet ID has been allocated according to a layer level of the encoded data, and information indicating an association relationship between the packet ID and the layer level; and a transmitting step of transmitting the generated encoded stream, and the generated information indicating the association relationship. Thus, there is provided the encoded data transmission method which allows a reception side to easily select encoded data which is hierarchically encoded.
