Abstract
The present embodiments relate to a method for encoding and a technical equipment for implementing the method. The method includes receiving a sequence of pictures to be encoded; defining a refresh period for coded pictures, wherein the decoded recovery point picture and all subsequent decoded pictures in output order are correct in content when starting decoding from the random access point picture. The encoding further includes determining the size of the refreshed area; selecting a number of sample columns or rows outside a conformance cropping window so that a boundary between the refreshed area and the unrefreshed area of the picture is aligned with a coding tree unit boundary.
