Abstract:
1. A method for the ordering of a reference picture lists for a multiview based video decoding operation where reference pictures associated with a plurality of views are used for coding a video picture comprising the steps of: determining using a video coder whether a first reference picture is a temporal reference picture for said video picture to be coded and modifying an ordering of a coding order of reference pictures in a temporal reference picture list by assigning said first reference picture a picture number used for said temporal reference picture list where said picture number depends on whether said first reference picture is an I, B, or P picture, whether said picture to be coded is an I, B, or P picture, a decoding order of said video picture to be coded in a plurality of coded pictures, and a display order of said video picture to be coded in said plurality of coded pictures; determining whether said video picture to be coded is associated with a view from said plurality of views from different view points; and modifying an ordering a coding of a second reference picture in a crossview reference picture list in the same coding operation, with the crossview reference picture list being a different picture list than the temporal reference picture list, when the corresponding viewpoint representing the view of the picture to be coded and said second reference picture is associated with a view different than associated with said video picture to be coded as to assign the second reference picture a second picture number for said crossview reference picture list where the second picture list number depends on whether said second reference picture is an I, B, or P picture, whether said picture to be coded is an I, B, P picture, said decoding order of said video picture to be coded in a plurality of coded pictures, and said display order of said video picture to be coded in said plurality of coded pictures, wherein
