Abstract: In a conventional art, an output layer set having no output layer is sometimes defined. Consequently, even if the decoder decodes a bit stream to obtain each layer in the output layer set without the output layer, there is no picture to be outputted. There is a possibility that such coded data causes the decoder expecting an output to operate unexpectedly. Output layer sets having the same configuration may be defined. Consequently, the amount of code pertaining to the output layer sets defined in an overlapping manner is redundant. According to an aspect of the present disclosure, a specification of a bit stream conformance pertaining to the output layer set prevents occurrence of an output layer set without an output layer and a redundant output layer set.

Abstract: The amount of memory required for CCLM prediction is reduced. The CCLM prediction parameter derivation unit (310442) derives a scale shift value corresponding to a luma difference value, and derives a CCLM prediction parameter, by shifting, by using the scale shift value, a value obtained by multiplying a value of a table referred to with a value obtained by performing right shift of the luma difference value by the scale shift value as an index and a chroma difference value. In addition, in a case of deriving a prediction image, a bit width is reduced by adaptively deriving a shift amount of a linear prediction parameter from the chroma difference value.

Abstract: In a case of referring to information between pictures by means of inter prediction, the entire picture needs to be decoded even in a case of decoding a small region. In a case of referring to information within a picture by means of intra prediction, referring to information across a tile boundary is not possible. In a case that a pixel pointed by a sub-block level motion vector of a target block that is calculated by scaling based on an available motion vector acquired from a spatial neighboring block or a temporal neighboring block is not present within a tile sequence, a process of replacing the pixel value with a pixel value within the tile sequence is performed. In a case of referring to a pixel outside of a tile by means of intra prediction, a process of replacing the pixel value with that of a pixel within the tile is performed.
