Signaling of picture header in video coding

A method of video decoding comprises receiving a bitstream including a picture parameter set (PPS) containing a single slice per subpicture flag; determining whether the single slice per subpicture flag has a first value or a second value, where the first value specifies that each subpicture referring to the PPS includes one and only one rectangular slice, and where the second value specifies that each subpicture referring to the PPS may include one or more rectangular slices; decoding the one and only one rectangular slice when the single slice per subpicture flag has the first value and the one or more rectangular slices when the single slice per subpicture flag has the second value.

A method of decoding a coded video bitstream is provided. The method includes parsing a flag; parsing a first reference picture list structure; determining that an index to a second reference picture list structure is not present in a slice header of the coded video bitstream and inferring that the index to the second reference picture list structure is the same as an index to the first reference picture list structure when the flag has a first value; determining that the index to the second reference picture list structure is present in the slice header when the flag has a second value; generating a reference picture list using the first reference picture list structure or the second reference picture list structure; and performing inter-prediction based on the reference picture list to generate a reconstructed block.

Index signaling for reference picture list structures

A video coding mechanism is disclosed. The mechanism includes a bitstream comprising a parameter set and one or more sub-pictures partitioned from a picture. The parameter set is parsed to obtain a flag indicating that a current sub-picture is a temporal motion constrained sub-picture. The current sub-picture is extracted from the bitstream independently of the picture and based on the flag. The current sub-picture is decoded to create a video sequence. The video sequence is forwarded for display.

A video coding mechanism is disclosed. The mechanism includes receiving a bitstream comprising a flag and a plurality of coded pictures including an intra random access point (IRAP) picture and one or more non-leading pictures associated with the IRAP picture. When the flag is set to a first value any leading pictures associated with the IRAP picture precede, in decoding order, all non-leading pictures associated with the IRAP picture. When the flag is set to a second value a non-leading picture precedes, in decoding order, an initial leading picture associated with the IRAP picture. The IRAP picture, any leading pictures associated with the IRAP picture, and the one or more non-leading pictures associated with the IRAP picture are decoded in decoding order based on the flag.

The mechanism further includes obtaining ALF parameters from the first APS NAL unit, obtaining scaling list parameters from the second APS NAL unit, and LMCS parameters from the third APS NAL unit. The mechanism further includes decoding the slice using the ALF parameters, the scaling list parameters, and the LMCS parameter. The mechanism further includes forwarding the slice for display as part of a decoded video sequence.

The mechanism determines an entry in the reference picture list structure associated with the current picture is an inter-layer reference picture (ILRP) entry based on the inter-layer reference picture flag. The current picture is decoded based on an inter-layer reference picture indicated by the entry in the reference picture list structure when the entry is the ILRP entry. The current picture is forwarded for display as part of a decoded video sequence.
