#1271 closed defect (fixed)

Inference of slice_chroma_qp_adjustment_enabled_flag is not correctly implemented

Reported by: jackh Owned by:

Description

We are currently adding range extensions support to Argon Streams. The head of the HM-range-extensions branch contains the following section in TDecCAVLC.cpp:

#if RExt__O0044_CU_ADAPTIVE_CHROMA_QP_OFFSET
    if (rpcSlice->getPPS()->getChromaQpAdjTableSize() > 0)
    {
      READ_FLAG(uiCode, "slice_chroma_qp_adjustment_enabled_flag"); rpcSlice->setUseChromaQpAdj(uiCode != 0);
    }
#endif

This doesn't implement the spec rule that slice_chroma_qp_adjustment_enabled_flag is inferred to be zero when it isn't present. This causes problems when a non-zero value has been copied from another slice. The correct code would be:

#if RExt__O0044_CU_ADAPTIVE_CHROMA_QP_OFFSET
    if (rpcSlice->getPPS()->getChromaQpAdjTableSize() > 0)
    {
      READ_FLAG(uiCode, "slice_chroma_qp_adjustment_enabled_flag"); rpcSlice->setUseChromaQpAdj(uiCode != 0);
    }
    else rpcSlice->setUseChromaQpAdj(false);
#endif

I guess a similar correction may be needed for the encoder.

Clarification: non-zero values are not 'copied' as such, but rather remain in m_apcSlicePilot from one picture to the next. initSlice(), called at the beginning of each new slice, doesn't do anything to m_ChromaQpAdjEnabled, so if it was set in a previous picture, it will remain set in the current picture. So if I have one picture that has a PPS with chroma_qp_adjustment_enabled_flag=1 and the last slice has slice_chroma_qp_adjustment_enabled_flag=1, and then I have another picture whose PPS has chroma_qp_adjustment_enabled_flag=0, slice_chroma_qp_adjustment_enabled_flag will remain set. So another solution might be to reset m_ChromaQpAdjEnabled in initSlice().
