Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided are multilayer video encoding/decoding methods. The multilayer video decoding method includes obtaining, from a bitstream, instantaneous decoder refresh (IDR) alignment information specifying whether at least one intra random access point (IRAP) picture for a random access and comprised in a same access unit is limited to being an IDR picture; and reconstructing a multilayer video by decoding encoded data by using the IDR alignment information.
