JCTVC-J0247 On frame packing arrangement SEI [B. Choi, C. Kim, J. Kim, J. Park (Samsung)]

Frame packing arrangement SEI message for full resolution 3D is proposed. With the utilization of the temporal scalability, the full resolution 3D can be delivered in scalable manner; the base layer is the half resolution 3D (frame compatible) and the enhancement layer is the complementary data for the full resolution. For hybrid codec design (base: AVC, enhancement: HEVC), one additional syntax is proposed.

Was performance / visual quality investigated?

Rather relates to scalable extensions and MFC – not relevant for version 1 of HEVC.

Possible solutions on frame compatibility and cropping:

1. 
   define cropping window in VUI or SEI (non-normative).
   
2. 
   define one cropping window in SPS (normative) and other cropping windows in SEI (non-normative)
   
3. 
   define multiple cropping windows in SPS (normative).
   

In any of these cases, the meaning/usage of these cropping windows would be defined in SEI (e.g. frame packing).

The typical use of cropping window (e.g. outputting 1920x1080 instead 1088) should be retained.

Related question: Would the conformance be tested at the DPB output or after cropping?

(Further discussion chaired by Y.-K. Wang.)

Further study REALLY highly encouraged (for the entire topic)‼!.
