Patent ID: 8693539

Claim:
A coding method of coding a random accessible picture using inter-view reference, said coding method comprising: writing, into a slice header of the random accessible picture, a first reference list modification syntax for modifying an order of one or more reference pictures included in a first reference picture list, the one or more reference pictures being able to be referred to by the random accessible picture; placing an inter-view reference picture among the one or more reference pictures at the beginning of the first reference picture list; and coding a current slice included in the random accessible picture, using the inter-view reference picture placed at the beginning of the first reference picture list, wherein said writing of a first reference list modification syntax includes: setting a value indicating that the first reference picture list is modified, to a Ref_pic_list_modification_flag_I 0 parameter; writing the ref_pic_list_modification_flag_I 0 parameter into the slice header; setting a value indicating that a first abs_diff_view_idx_minus 1 parameter corresponds to a value to be added to a prediction value of the inter-view reference index, to a first modification_of_pic_nums_idc parameter; writing the first modification_of_pic_nums_idc parameter into the slice header; setting 0 to the first abs_diff_view_idx_minus 1 parameter; writing the first abs_diff_view _idx_minus 1 parameter into the slice header; setting a value indicating that the modification of the first reference picture list is completed, to a second modification_of_pic_nums_idc parameter; and writing the second modification_of_pic_nums_idc parameter into the slice header.
