CONSTRUCTING LIST OF REFERENCE PICTURES FOR VIDEO ENCODING Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC H04N19/105 H04N19/597 H04N19/61 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: method includes a step of encoding information which indicates reference pictures belonging to a set of reference pictures, wherein the set of reference pictures identifies reference pictures which can potentially be used for inter-prediction of the current picture and can potentially be used for inter-prediction of one or more pictures following the current picture in a decoding order Further, the method comprises constructing a plurality of subsets of reference pictures, such that each identifies zero or more reference pictures of the set of reference pictures.

EFFECT: high efficiency of encoding images by providing simple initialisation of a list of reference pictures.
