127\section{General Information}
128Reference software is being made available to provide a reference
129implementation of the draft HEVC standard being developed by the Joint
130Collaborative Team on Video Coding (JCT-VC) regrouping experts from
131ITU-T SG 16 and ISO/IEC SC29 WG11. One of the main goals of the
132reference software is to provide a basis upon which to conduct
133experiments in order to determine which coding tools provide desired
134coding performance. It is not meant to be a particularly efficient
135implementation of anything, and one may notice its apparent
136unsuitability for a particular use. It should not be construed to be a
137reflection of how complex a production-quality implementation of a
138future HEVC standard would be.
139
140This document aims to provide guidance on the usage of the reference
141software. It is widely suspected to be incomplete and suggestions for
142improvements are welcome. Such suggestions and general inquiries may be
143sent to the general JCT-VC email reflector on
144\url{jct-vc@lists.rwth-aachen.de} (registration required).

209\subsection{GOP structure table}
210\label{sec:gop-structure}
211Defines the cyclic GOP structure that will be used repeatedly
212throughout the sequence. The table should contain GOPSize lines,
213named Frame1, Frame2, etc. The frames are listed in decoding
214order, so Frame1 is the first frame in decoding order, Frame2 is
215the second and so on. Among other things, the table specifies all
216reference pictures kept by the decoder for each frame. This
217includes pictures that are used for reference for the current
218picture as well as pictures that will be used for reference in
219the future. The encoder will not automatically calculate what
220pictures that has to be kept for future references, they have to
221be specified. Note that some specified reference frames for
222pictures encoded in the very first GOP after an IDR frame might
223not be available. This is handled automatically by the encoder,
224so the reference pictures can be given in the GOP structure table
225as if there were infinitely many identical GOPs before the
226current one. Each line in the table contains the parameters used
227for the corresponding frame, separated by whitespace:
228
229\begin{itemize}
230\item[]\textbf{Type}: Slice type, can be either I, P or B.
231
232\item[]\textbf{POC}: Display order of the frame within a GOP, ranging
233from 1 to GOPSize.
234
235\item[]\textbf{QPOffset}: QP offset is added to the QP parameter to set
236the final QP value to use for this frame.
237
238\item[]\textbf{QPFactor}: Weight used during rate distortion
239optimization. Higher values mean lower quality and less bits. Typical
240range is between
2410.3 and 1.
242
243\item[]\textbf{tcOffsetDiv2}: In-loop deblocking filter parameter tcOffsetDiv2
244is added to the base parameter LoopFilterTcOffset_div2 to set the final tc_offset_div2
245parameter for this picture signalled in the slice segment header. The final
246value of tc_offset_div2 shall be an integer number in the range $-6..6$.
247
248\item[]\textbf{betaOffsetDiv2}: In-loop deblocking filter parameter betaOffsetDiv2
249is added to the base parameter LoopFilterBetaOffset_div2 to set the final beta_offset_div2
250parameter for this picture signalled in the slice segment header. The final
251value of beta_offset_div2 shall be an integer number in the range $-6..6$.
252
253\item[]\textbf{temporal_id}: Temporal layer of the frame. A frame cannot
254predict from a frame with a higher temporal id. If a frame with higher
255temporal IDs is listed among a frame's reference pictures, it is
256not used, but is kept for possible use in future frames.
257
258\item[]\textbf{num_ref_pics_active}: Size of reference picture lists L0
259and L1, indicating how many reference pictures in each direction that
260are used during coding.
261
262\item[]\textbf{num_ref_pics}: The number of reference pictures kept for
263this frame.  This includes pictures that are used for reference for the
264current picture as well as pictures that will be used for reference in
265the future.
266
267\item[]\textbf{reference_pictures}: A space-separated list of
268num_ref_pics integers, specifying the POC of the reference pictures
269kept, relative the POC of the current frame. The picture list shall be
270ordered, first with negative numbers from largest to smallest, followed
271by positive numbers from smallest to largest (e.g. \verb|-1 -3 -5 1 3|).
272Note that any pictures not supplied in this list will be discarded and
273therefore not available as reference pictures later.
274
275\item[]\textbf{predict}: Defines the value of the syntax element
276inter_ref_pic_set_prediction_flag. A value of 0 indicates that the
277reference picture set is encoded without inter RPS prediction and the
278subsequent parameters deltaRIdx$-1$, deltaRPS, num_ref_idcs and
279Reference_idcs are ignored and do not need to be present. A value of 1
280indicates that the reference picture set is encoded with inter
281prediction RPS using the subsequent parameters deltaRIdx$-1$, deltaRPS,
282num_ref_idcs and Reference_idcs in the line. A value of 2 indicates that
283the reference picture set is encoded with inter RPS but only the
284deltaRIdx$-1$ parameters is needed. The deltaRPS, num_ref_idcs and
285Reference_idcs values are automatically derived by the encoder based on
286the POC and refPic values of the current line and the RPS pointed to by
287the deltaRIdx$-1$ parameters.
288
289\item[]\textbf{deltaRIdx$-1$}: The difference between the index of the
290curent RPS and the predictor RPS minus 1.
291
292\item[]\textbf{deltaRPS}: The difference between the POC of the
293predictor RPS and POC the current RPS.
294
295\item[]\textbf{num_ref_idcs}: The number of ref_idcs to encode for the
296current RPS.  The value is equal to the value of  num_ref_pics of the
297predictor RPS plus 1.
298
299\item[]\textbf{reference_idcs}: A space-separated list of num_ref_idcs
300integers, specifying the ref idcs of the inter RPS prediction. The value
301of ref_idcs may be 0, 1 or 2 indicating that the reference picture is a
302reference picture used by the current picture, a reference picture used
303for future picture or not a reference picture anymore, respectively. The
304first num_ref_pics of ref_idcs correspond to the Reference pictures in
305the predictor RPS. The last ref_idcs corresponds to the predictor
306picture.
307\end{itemize}
308
309For example, consider the coding structure of Figure~\ref{fig:gop-example}.
310This coding structure is of size 4. The pictures are listed in decoding
311order. Frame1 shall therefore describe picture with $\textrm{POC}=4$. It
312references picture 0, and therefore has $-4$ as a reference picture.
313Similarly, Frame2 has a POC of 2, and since it references pictures 0 and
3144, its reference pictures are listed as \verb|-2 2|. Frame3 is a special
315case: even though it only references pictures with POC 0 and 2, it also
316needs to include the picture with POC 4, which must be kept in order to
317be used as a reference picture in the future. The reference picture list
318for Frame3 therefore becomes \verb|-1 1 3|. Frame4 has a POC of 3 and
319its list of reference pictures is \verb|-1 1|.
320
321\begin{figure}[h]
322\caption{A GOP structure}
323\label{fig:gop-example}
324\centering
325\includegraphics[width=0.7\textwidth]{gop-structure-example}
326\end{figure}
327
328Inter RPS prediction may be used for Frame2, Frame3 and Frame4, hence
329the predict parameter is set to 1 for these frames. Frame2 uses Frame1
330as the predictor hence the deltaRIdx$-1$ is 0.  Similarly for Frame3 and
331Frame4 which use Frame2 and Frame3 as predictors, respectively. The
332deltaRPS is equal to the POC of the predictor minus the POC of the
333current picture, therefore the deltaRPS for Frame2 is $4 -2 = 2$, for
334Frame3 is $2 - 1 = 1$ and for Frame4 is $1 - 3 = -2$.
335
336In Frame2, reference pictures with POC 0 and 2 are used, so the
337reference idcs for Frame2 are \verb|1 1| indicating that the reference
338picture, $-4$, in Frame1 is still a reference picture in Frame2 and
339Frame1 is also a reference picture in Frame2. The reference idcs for
340Frame3 are \verb|1 1 1|. The first and second “1”s indicating that
341the reference pictures "$-2$ $2$" in Frame2 are still reference pictures in
342Frame3 and the last “1” indicating that Frame2 is also a reference
343picture in Frame3. In Frame 4, the reference idcs are \verb|0 1 1 0|.
344The first “0” indicates that the reference pictures “-1” in Frame 3 is
345no longer a reference picture in Frame4. The next two “1”s indicate that
346the reference pictures “$1$ $3$” are now reference pictures of Frame4.
347The final “0” indicates that Frame3 is not a reference picture.
348
349In order to specify this to the encoder, the parameters in
350Table~\ref{tab:gop-example} could be used.

384Here, the frames used for prediction have been given higher
385quality by assigning a lower QP offset. Also, the non-reference
386frames have been marked as belonging to a higher temporal layer,
387to make it possible to decode only every other frame. Note: each
388line should contain information for one frame, so this
389configuration would be specified as:
390
391\begin{verbatim}
392Frame1: P 4 1 0.5 0 0 0 1 1 -4 0
393Frame2: B 2 2 0.5 1 0 1 1 2 -2 2 1 0 2 2 1 1
394Frame3: B 1 3 0.5 2 0 2 1 3 -1 1 3 1 0 1 3 1 1 1
395Frame4: B 3 3 0.5 2 0 2 1 2 -1 1 1 0 -2 4 0 1 1 0
396\end{verbatim}
397
398The values of deltaRIdx$-1$, deltaRPS, num_ref_idcs and reference
399idcs of Frame$K$ can be derived from the POC value of Frame$_K$ and
400the POC, num_ref_pics and reference_pictures values of Frame$_M$, where
401$K$ is the index of the RPS to be inter coded and the $M$ is the
402index of the reference RPS, as follows.

1966this parameter is set to 0, the feature is disabled and all messages are
1967ignored. When set to 1 (default), the feature is enabled and the decoder
1968has the following behaviour:
1969\begin{itemize}
1970\item
1971  If Picture hash SEI messages are included in the bitstream, the same type
1972  of hash is calculated for each decoded picture and written to the
1973  log together with an indication whether the calculted value matches
1974  the value in the SEI message.
1975  Decoding will continue even if there is a mismatch.
1976
1977\item
1978  After decoding is complete, if any MD5sum comparison failed, a warning
1979  is printed and the decoder exits with the status EXIT_FAILURE
1980
1981\item
1982  The per-picture MD5 log message has the following formats:
1983  [MD5:d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e,(OK)],
1984  [MD5:d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e,(unk)],

1986  where, "(unk)" implies that no MD5 was signalled for this picture,
1987  "(OK)" implies that the decoder agrees with the signalled MD5,
1988  "(***ERROR***)" implies that the decoder disagrees with the signalled
1989  MD5. "[rxMD5:...]" is the signalled MD5 if different.
