single reference picture list configuration for video encoding

摘要

Exemplary techniques as described in this disclosure provides an efficient method for encoding or decoding video blocks of the picture by using a single reference picture list. Single reference picture list may include an identifier for the reference one or more pictures that are used to encode or decode video blocks. In some instances, with a single reference picture list, decoder or video encoder, to encode or decode video block is predicted from two reference pictures, using the same single reference picture list, I may encode or decode a video block to be predicted from one reference picture.
