Abstract:
1. A method for decoding in a decoding device a bitstream comprising at least three layers or views L0, L1, and L2, each including at least one picture P0, P1 and P2, respectively, the method comprising: decoding with a decoder a slice segment header of the picture P2; and reconstructing at least one sample of the picture P2, wherein: the slice segment header of the picture P2 includes at least one flag indicative of using inter-layer prediction, if the flag is not set, the at least one sample of the picture P2 is reconstructed without inter-layer prediction, if the flag is set, the slice segment header of the picture P2 includes at least one syntax element inter_layer_pred_layer indicative of using information from the picture P0 or the picture P1 as a predictor, and, based on the indication of the at least one syntax element inter_layer_pred_layer, the reconstruction of the at least one sample of the picture P2 involves at least one sample of the picture P0 or P1, respectively.
