A video coding method can include receiving, by processing circuitry of a coding device, a current picture in a group of pictures (GOP) of a layered coding structure in video sequence. The current picture can have two reference pictures. A current layer of the current picture in the layered coding structure can be determined. A current quantization parameter (QP) offset of the current picture can be determined according to the current layer of the current picture. Reference QPs corresponding to the two reference pictures of the current picture can be determined. A current QP of the current picture can be determined according to the reference QPs and the current QP offset. The current picture can be coded according to the current QP.
