FIELD: physics.
SUBSTANCE: method includes decoding a first syntax element defined to indicate whether deblocking filter parameters are present in both a picture layer parameter set and a slice header; when the first syntax element indicates that deblocking filter parameters are present in both the picture layer parameter set and the slice header, decoding a second syntax element in the slice header.
EFFECT: fewer bits used to signal deblocking filter parameters.
