FIELD: physics.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to image encoding means. Value of the syntax element sps_num_subpics_minus1 is obtained by parsing the video bitstream, wherein the value of the syntax element sps_num_subpics_minus1 plus 1 indicates the number of sub-images in each image in a coded/decoded video sequence associated with a layer. When the value of the syntax element sps_num_subpics_minus1 is greater than a predetermined value, the value of the syntax element sps_independent_subpics_flag is obtained from the bitstream, wherein the value of the syntax element sps_independent_subpics_flag is used to indicate whether contour filtering is performed across subimage boundaries in the coded/decoded video sequence associated with the layer. When the value of the syntax element sps_num_subpics_minus1 is less than or equal to said predetermined value, the value of the syntax element sps_independent_subpics_flag is set equal to the default value. Said preset value is 0.
EFFECT: high efficiency of encoding images.
