Abstract:
An apparatus configured to code video information includes a memory and a processor in communication with the memory. The memory is configured to store video information associated with a reference layer and an enhancement layer, the reference layer comprising a reference layer (RL) picture having a first slice and a second slice, and the enhancement layer comprising an enhancement layer (EL) picture corresponding to the RL picture. The processor is configured to generate an inter-layer reference picture (ILRP) by upsampling the RL picture, the ILRP having a single slice associated therewith, set slice information of the single slice of the ILRP equal to slice information of the first slice, and use the ILRP to code at least a portion of the EL picture. The processor may encode or decode the video information.

In one embodiment, a video coder for coding video data includes a processor and a memory. The processor selects a filter set from a multiple filter sets for upsampling reference layer video data based at least on a prediction operation mode for enhanced layer video data and upsamples the reference layer video data using the selected filter set. Some of the multiple filter sets have some different filter characteristics from one another, and the upsampled reference layer video data has the same spatial resolution as the enhanced layer video data. The processor further codes the enhanced layer video data based at least on the upsampled reference layer video data and the prediction operation mode. The memory stores the upsampled reference layer video data.
