Abstract:
Aspects of the disclosure provide method and apparatus for video coding. In some examples, an apparatus includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry decodes a first portion of video data to obtain first decoded data corresponding to at least two pictures of a plurality of pictures. The processing circuitry identifies one or more pictures of the at least two pictures for decoding a second portion of the video data corresponding to a current picture. In a case that the one or more identified pictures includes two or more identified pictures, the processing circuitry selects a collocated reference picture based on one of (i) the POC numbers of the two or more identified pictures and the current picture, and (ii) a selection index provided in the video data. The processing circuitry also decodes the second portion of the video data using the collocated reference picture.

Claim (Index 12):
An apparatus, comprising:\n processing circuitry configured to:\n decode a first portion of video data to obtain first decoded data corresponding to at least two pictures of a plurality of pictures, the video data corresponding to the plurality of pictures that is associated with respective Picture Order Count (POC) numbers indicating a temporal order of the plurality of pictures and respectively in a N temporal layers; \n allocate M memory spaces, M being a positive integer less than or equal to N; \n identify one or more pictures of the at least two pictures for decoding a second portion of the video data corresponding to a current picture; \n in a case that the one or more identified pictures includes two or more identified pictures, select a collocated reference picture from the two or more identified pictures based on one of (i) the POC numbers of the two or more identified pictures and the current picture, and (ii) a selection index provided in the video data; \n in a case that the one or more identified pictures includes only one identified picture, select the only one identified picture as the collocated reference picture; \n decode the second portion of the video data using the collocated reference picture to obtain second decoded data corresponding to the current picture; \n store the first decoded data corresponding to the one or more identified pictures in one or more respective memory spaces of the M allocated memory spaces; and \n in a case that the one or more identified pictures includes a particular picture in a same temporal layer as the current picture, at least partially update data stored in one of the M memory spaces that corresponds to the particular picture using the second decoded data corresponding to the current picture.
