  • Patent number: 11683508
    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.

  • Patent number: 11336912
    Abstract: A video encoding device (2) includes a side information determination section (21) and a side information encoding section (22). The side information determination section (21) sets a quantization parameter for each macroblock in such a manner that a difference between quantization parameters for each pair of macroblocks with successive encoding orders is equal to one of n difference values, and transforms the difference into one of n indices with respect to each pair. The side information encoding section (22) generates a binary sequence having a length corresponding to the size of the absolute value of the index. The total of absolute values of the n indices is smaller than the total of absolute values of the n difference values.
