Abstract:
1. A method of processing a multi-view video stream, the method comprising: receiving the multi-view video stream including at least one random access picture, the at least one random access picture including a random access slice, the random access slice indicating a slice referring to slices existing at a same time in a different view only; receiving identification information indicating that the received multi-view video stream is a stereo video bitstream; obtaining flag information on the identification information, the flag information indicating whether a random access picture of a base view is used for inter-view prediction of a random access picture of a non-base view; determining initialization information of a reference picture list of the random access picture of the non-base view based on the flag information; initializing the reference picture list of the random access picture of the non-base view using the initialization information; determining a prediction value of a macroblock in the random access picture of the non-base view based on the initialized reference picture list; and decoding the macroblock using the prediction value of the macroblock, wherein the base view indicates an independently decoded view, and the non-base view indicates a view other than the base view.
