- Intra_BC_ref_prev_slice_flag which is a reference permission flag for specifying that IntraBC refers to the decoding result of the slice preceding itself.
- IntraBC can only refer to the current slice.
- IntraBC can refer to the block of the slice before itself in addition to the current. Since this flag indicates the relationship between slices, it is appropriate to set in PPS (Picture Parameter Set).
- intraBC_ref_prev_slice_flag 1, how many previous slices can be referred to is clearly indicated by a parameter called intraBC_ref_prev_slice_num in PPS, for example.
- intraBC_ref_prev_slice_num 5
- images of slice numbers 5 to 10 can be referenced.
- one's slice number is 5 or less

- the value of intraBC_ref_prev_slice_flag is invalid to 0. to 0 indicates that a prediction unit which coding mode is IntraBC shall not refer to the previously decoded slice data.
- IntraBC_ref_prev_slice_num indicates one or more slice segment that may be referred to by a prediction unit which coding mode is IntraBC in the current slice.
- the set of slice segment is derived as follows.
- A is calculated as follows. Let C be the order of the slice in the current picture (eg 0 for the 1 st slice).
- C (C-intraBC_ref_prev_slice_num) ⁇ 0? 0: (C-intraBC_ref_prev_slice_num)
- the X-th slice segment where X is in the range of A to C, and the target slice segment indicated by the syntax.
- FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of VPS syntax.
- the sps_crossslice_intraBC_enable_flag in the SPS shown in FIG. 2 is described as Vps_crossslice_intraBC_enable_flag in the VPS of FIG.
- FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example in which the screen is divided into four slices (Slice # 0 to Slice # 3) in the present technology.
- the referenceable range from the current CTU in Slice # 2 is only the portion of Slice # 2 that is being decoded, so for example, refer to the block of Slice # 1. I could not do it.
- intraBC_ref_prev_slice_num 1, from the current CTU in Slice # 2, as shown in FIG. 6, reference can be made to Slice # 1, which is the previous slice. Slice # 0 is not referenceable. Therefore, in the example of FIG. 6 as well, it is possible to reference the block of Slice # 1 from the current CTU in Slice # 2.
- WPP is a process performed when entropy_coding_sync_enabled_flag in PPS is 1.
- the first is a method of encoding one CTU sequence as one slice by multi slice.
- the second is a method of encoding one picture as one slice using entry_poit_offset. In the second case, since the present technology described above is applicable, the first case will be described below.
- one CTU column is one slice, so when reference to a different slice is prohibited, only the CTU on the left is considered as the reference range from the current CTU, and the CTU on the left is CTU Can only see.
- the reference range is limited to the upper right CTU of the current CTU instead of the entire Slice # 0. This is because there is a 2 CTU decode time difference between CTU columns due to the configuration of WPP.
- the upper left CTU, the upper CTU, and the upper right CTU of the current CTU in Slice # 0, and Slice # The CTU to the left of the current CTU at 1 is the reference range.
- FIG. 9 is a diagram for describing a combination of the present technology and tile division.

- a tile is one of the division units of a picture.
- the row size and the column size of each tile are specified in units of LCU in the SPS or PPS in the image compression information.
- a slice may include a tile, and there may be a slice boundary in the middle of the tile.
- intra_BC_ref_prev_slice_flag 1, which is a reference permission flag, it is possible to refer to a different slice that has already been decoded. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 9, when the tile division function is on, reference to Slice # 0 which is a different tile and a different slice is permitted for the current CTU in Slice # 1.
- FIG. 10 is a diagram for explaining the effect.
- FIG. 11 is a diagram for describing a combination of the present technology and MCTS-SEI (Temporal Motion Constrained Tile Set SEI).

(符号化方式)
以下においては、HEVC(High Efficiency Video Coding)方式の画像符号化・復号に適用する場合を例に、本技術を説明する。
図1は、HEVC方式における符号化単位であるCoding UNIT(CU)を説明する図である。
ところで、AVCそしてHEVC符号化方式において、より高い符号化効率を達成するには、適切な予測モードの選択が重要である。
IntraBlockCopy(IntraBC)は、画面内で動き補償を行う符号化ツールである。IntraBCは、コンピュータ画面やCG画像のような人口画像に対し、符号化効率改善に貢献するツールとして知られている。
図2は、SPSおよびPPSのシンタクスの例を示す図である。図2の例においては、SPSのシンタクスの下に、PPSのシンタクスが示されている。
図3は、本技術のセマンテクスの例を示す図である。図3の例においては、sps_crossslice_intraBC_enable_flag、intraBC_ref_prev_slice_flag、intraBC_ref_prev_slice_numが、次のように定義されている。
・intraBC_ref_prev_slice_flag equal to 1 indicates that a prediction unit which coding mode is IntraBC (=predModeIntraBc is equal to 1) in the current slice may refer the previously decoded slice data which proceed the current slice in the decoding order in the current picture. intraBC_ref_prev_slice_flag equal to 0 indicates that a prediction unit which coding mode is IntraBC shall not refer the previously decoded slice data. When not present, the value of intraBC_ref_prev_slice_flag is inferred to 0.
・intraBC_ref_prev_slice_num indicates one or more slice segment that may be referred by a prediction unit which coding mode is IntraBC in the current slice. The set of slice segment is derived as follows.
Let C be the order of the slice in the current picture (e.g. 0 for the 1st slice ). And A is calculated as follows.
A = (C - intraBC_ref_prev_slice_num) < 0 ? 0 : (C - intraBC_ref_prev_slice_num)
Then, the X-th slice segment, where X is in the range of A to C, is the target slice segment indicated by the syntax.
図4は、VPSのシンタクスの例を示す図である。図2に示されたSPSにおけるsps_crossslice_intraBC_enable_flagは、図4のVPSにおいては、Vps_crossslice_intraBC_enable_flagのように記述される。
図5は、本技術において、画面を4スライス(Slice#0乃至Slice#3)に分割した例を示す図である。
図7および図8は、本技術とWPP(Wavefront Parallel Processing)との組み合わせについて説明する図である。
図9は、本技術とタイル分割との組み合わせについて説明する図である。
図10は、効果について説明する図である。
図11は、本技術とMCTS-SEI(Temporal Motion Constrained Tile Set SEI)との組み合わせについて説明する図である。
intraBC_ref_prev_slice_flag=0として設定することが必要となる。これは、カレント以外のタイル/スライスの参照が禁止されているからである。
(符号化装置の一実施の形態の構成例)
図13は、本開示を適用した符号化装置の一実施の形態の構成例を示すブロック図である。
図14は、図13の符号化部12の構成例を示すブロック図である。
図15は、図13の符号化装置10のストリーム生成処理を説明するフローチャートである。
図20は、図13の符号化装置10から伝送される符号化ストリームを復号する、本開示を適用した復号装置の一実施の形態の構成例を示すブロック図である。
図21は、図20の復号部113の構成例を示すブロック図である。
図22は、図20の復号装置110の画像生成処理を説明するフローチャートである。
(本開示を適用したコンピュータの説明)
上述した一連の処理は、ハードウエアにより実行することもできるし、ソフトウエアにより実行することもできる。一連の処理をソフトウエアにより実行する場合には、そのフトウエアを構成するプログラムが、コンピュータにインストールされる。ここで、コンピュータには、専用のハードウエアに組み込まれているコンピュータや、各種のプログラムをインストールすることで、各種の機能を実行することが可能な、例えば汎用のパーソナルコンピュータなどが含まれる。
(多視点画像符号化・多視点画像復号への適用)
上述した一連の処理は、多視点画像符号化・多視点画像復号に適用することができる。図27は、多視点画像符号化方式の一例を示す。

(階層画像符号化・階層画像復号への適用)
上述した一連の処理は、階層画像符号化・階層画像復号(スケーラブル符号化・スケーラブル復号)に適用することができる。図30は、階層画像符号化方式の一例を示す。
このような階層画像符号化・階層画像復号(スケーラブル符号化・スケーラブル復号)において、スケーラブル(scalable)機能を有するパラメータは、任意である。例えば、図31に示されるような空間解像度をそのパラメータとしてもよい(spatial scalability)。このスペーシャルスケーラビリティ(spatial scalability)の場合、レイヤ毎に画像の解像度が異なる。つまり、この場合、図31に示されるように、各ピクチャが、元の画像より空間的に低解像度のベースレイヤと、ベースレイヤと合成することにより元の空間解像度が得られるエンハンスメントレイヤの2階層に階層化される。もちろん、この階層数は一例であり、任意の階層数に階層化することができる。
図34は、上述した階層画像符号化を行う階層画像符号化装置を示す図である。図34に示されるように、階層画像符号化装置620は、符号化部621、符号化部622、および多重化部623を有する。
