The Joint Collaborative Team on Video Coding (jct-vc) of itu-t wp3/16 and iso/iec jtc 1/ sc 29/ wg 11 held its tenth meeting during 11-20 July 2012 at the City Conference Centre (ccc), a k. a

JCTVC-J0513 Common conditions for reference picture marking and list construction proposals [R. Sjöberg, Y.-K. Wang, M. Hannuksela, T. K. Tan, Y. Ye] [late]

TBA.

This was the result of interim AHG activity. This was approved as the appropriate method of testing typical characteristics for proposals in this area (for future proposals as well as prior ones).

JCTVC-J0185 AHG13: On short_term_ref_pic_set [S. Lu, K. Sato (Sony)]

Short_term_ref_pic_set was asserted to contain the following redundancies:

• 
  inter_ref_pic_set_prediction_flag is transmitted even if idx = 0, where inter_ref_pic_set_prediction cannot be applied
  
• 
  in common test conditions, the value of delta_idx_minus1 remains 0 for all idx values but is transmitted for all idx values
  

In this contribution it is proposed to modify syntax related to short_term_ref_pic_set to remove above redundancies.

This was closely related to J0234. See the notes in the section on that document.

Cross-check in J0517.
