13、nion (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications, information and communication technologies (ICTs). The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions

14、 and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on

15、these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the e

16、xpression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency. Compliance with this Recommendation is voluntary. However, the Recommendation may contain certain mandatory provisions (to ensure, e.g., interoperability or appli

17、cability) and compliance with the Recommendation is achieved when all of these mandatory provisions are met. The words “shall“ or some other obligatory language such as “must“ and the negative equivalents are used to express requirements. The use of such words does not suggest that compliance with t

18、he Recommendation is required of any party. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTSITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or implementation of this Recommendation may involve the use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicabi

19、lity of claimed Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or others outside of the Recommendation development process. As of the date of approval of this Recommendation, ITU had not received notice of intellectual property, protected by patents, which may be required to implement

ITU-T H.265.1 (10/2014) 4 Abbreviations and acronyms For the purposes of this Recommendation | International Standard, relevant abbreviations and acronyms are specified in clause 4 of Rec. ITU-T H.265 | ISO/IEC 23008-2. 5 Conventions For the purposes of th

35、is Recommendation | International Standard, relevant conventions are specified in clause 5 of Rec. ITU-T H.265 | ISO/IEC 23008-2. 6 Conformance testing for ITU-T H.265 | ISO/IEC 23008-2 6.1 Introduction The following clauses specify normative tests for verifying conformance of video bitstreams as we

36、ll as decoders. Those normative tests make use of test data (bitstream test suites) provided as an electronic annex to this Recommendation | International Standard and the reference software decoder specified in Rec. ITU-T H.265.2 | ISO/IEC 23008-5. 6.2 Bitstream conformance Bitstream conformance fo

37、r Rec. ITU-T H.265 | ISO/IEC 23008-2 is specified by clause C.4 of Rec. ITU-T H.265 | ISO/IEC 23008-2. 6.3 Decoder conformance Decoder conformance for Rec. ITU-T H.265 | ISO/IEC 23008-2 is specified by clause C.5 of Rec. ITU-T H.265 | ISO/IEC 23008-2. 6.4 Procedure to test bitstreams A bitstream tha

38、t claims conformance with Rec. ITU-T H.265 | ISO/IEC 23008-2 shall pass the following normative test. The bitstream shall be decoded by processing it with the reference software decoder. When processed by the reference software decoder, the bitstream shall not cause any error or non-conformance mess

39、ages to be reported by the reference software decoder. This test should not be applied to bitstreams that are known to contain errors introduced by transmission, as such errors are highly likely to result in bitstreams that lack conformance to Rec. ITU-T H.265 | ISO/IEC 23008-2. Successfully passing

40、 the reference software decoder test provides only a strong presumption that the bitstream under test is conforming to the video layer, i.e., that it does indeed meet all the requirements for the video layer (except Annexes C, D and E) specified in Rec. ITU-T H.265 | ISO/IEC 23008-2 that are tested

41、by the reference software decoder. Additional tests may be necessary to more thoroughly check that the bitstream properly meets all the requirements specified in Rec. ITU-T H.265 | ISO/IEC 23008-2 including the hypothetical reference decoder (HRD) conformance (based on Annexes C, D and E). These com

42、plementary tests may be performed using other video bitstream verifiers that perform more complete tests than those implemented by the reference software decoder. Rec. ITU-T H.265 | ISO/IEC 23008-2 contains several informative recommendations that are not an integral part of that Recommendation | In

43、ternational Standard. When testing a bitstream for conformance, it may also be useful to test whether or not the bitstream follows those recommendations. To check correctness of a bitstream, it is necessary to parse the entire bitstream and to extract all the syntax elements and other values derived

44、 from those syntactic elements and used by the decoding process specified in Rec. ITU-T H.265 | ISO/IEC 23008-2. A verifier may not necessarily perform all stages of the decoding process specified in Rec. ITU-T H.265 | ISO/IEC 23008-2 in order to verify bitstream correctness. Many tests can be perfo

45、rmed on syntax elements in a state prior to their use in some processing stages. Rec. ITU-T H.265.1 (10/2014) 3 6.5 Procedure to test decoder conformance 6.5.1 Conformance bitstreams A bitstream has values of general_profile_idc, general_tier_flag, and general_level_idc corresponding to a set of spe

46、cified constraints on a bitstream for which a decoder conforming to a specified profile, tier, and level is required in Annex A of Rec. ITU-T H.265 | ISO/IEC 23008-2 to properly perform the decoding process. 6.5.2 Contents of the bitstream file The conformance bitstreams are included in this Recomme

47、ndation | International Standard as an electronic attachment. The following information is included in a single zipped file for each such bitstream. bitstream; decoded pictures or hashes of decoded pictures (may not be present); short description of the bitstream; trace file (results while decoding

48、the bitstream, in ASCII format). In cases where the decoded pictures or hashes of decoded pictures are not available, the reference software decoder shall be used to generate the necessary reference decoded pictures from the bitstream. 6.5.3 Requirements on output of the decoding process and timing

49、Two classes of decoder conformance are specified: output order conformance; and output timing conformance. The output of the decoding process is specified in clause 8 and Annex C of Rec. ITU-T H.265 | ISO/IEC 23008-2. For output order conformance, it is a requirement that all of the decoded pictures specified for output in Annex C of Rec. ITU-T H.265 | ISO/IEC 23008-2 shall be output by a conforming decoder in the specified order and that the values of the decoded samples
