Compatibility for all intra HM-11.0 bitstreams (wrong POC number)

Reported by: dfsouza Owned by:
Priority: minor Milestone: HM-14.0
Component: HM Version: HM-13.0
Keywords: HM-11.0 all intra bitstream compatibility NAL unit type Cc: fbossen, ksuehring, davidf, jct-vc@…

Description

On the HM-13.0 decoder, the NAL unit type for intra slices in all intra configuration of the HM-11.0 bitstreams are decoded as NAL_UNIT_CODED_SLICE_TRAIL_N as specified in the JCTVC K1003-v7 document. However, the m_prevTid0POC private member of TComSlice class is not update for this NAL unit type. This implies in an error when the POC is set in the TDecCavlc::parseSliceHeader function (TDecCAVLC - line 865) when the POC number reaches 129 ( > iMaxPOClsb / 2 ). The slice POC is set as a negative number and the decoder crashes in the function TComSlice::checkLeadingPictureRestrictions (TComSlice - line 805).

One simple solution could be modify the function setPOC (TComSlice.h - line 1269) by adding the possibility to update the m_prevTid0POC private member for the NAL unit type NAL_UNIT_CODED_SLICE_TRAIL_N.

The attached patch can be used to fix this issue:

The spec says:

Let prevTid0Pic be the previous picture in decoding order that has TemporalId equal to 0 and is not a RASL picture, a RADL picture, or a sub-layer non-reference picture.

with sub-layer non-reference picture defined as

If a picture has nal_unit_type equal to TRAIL_N [...], the picture is a sub-layer non-reference picture.

So the suggested solution would not conform to the spec.

I have not seen any problems with intra-only streams that were generated with HM 13. Is it possible that intra-only streams which you generated with HM 11.0 are not conforming?

I agree. Another possible solution is to modify when the POC become negative because of iPrevPOClsb is always equal to 0 (TDecCAVLC.cpp - line 850), when the picture is NAL_UNIT_CODED_SLICE_TRAIL_N:

      else if( (iPOClsb  >  iPrevPOClsb )  && ( (iPOClsb - iPrevPOClsb )  >  ( iMaxPOClsb / 2 ) ) ) 
      {
        iPOCmsb = iPrevPOCmsb - iMaxPOClsb;
      }

It is possible to replicate the error with any bitstream which can be found ​here, by decoding with the HM-13.0.

This issue is related to Ticket 1127. I think the all-intra streams generated with HM-11.0 were non-conforming, as described in 1127.

  • Resolution set to invalid
  • Status changed from new to closed

There is no point in changing the software to decode non-conforming streams. Closing as invalid.
