FIELD: information technologies.
SUBSTANCE: buffer of virtual decoded images stores decoded images of lower level of scalable bit stream of video data as reference ones. Decoded images of lower level used as reference ones are compiled to create a list of reference images for each level. List of reference images formed by buffer of virtual decoded images is used in process of direct forecasting instead of target reference list to properly decode current macroblock.
EFFECT: maintenance of list of reference images for lower levels in decoding of scalable coded video data of bit stream, containing more than one scalable level, to provide for proper decoding, when modes of direct forecasting are used to code lower level.
