Moving picture coding method, moving picture decoding method, moving picture coding apparatus, moving picture decoding apparatus, and moving picture coding and decoding apparatus
A moving picture coding method includes (i) transforming, for each of one or more second processing units included in the first processing unit, a moving picture signal in a spatial domain into a frequency domain coefficient and quantizing the frequency domain coefficient, and (ii) performing arithmetic coding on a luminance CBF flag indicating whether or not a quantized coefficient is included in the second processing unit in which transform and quantization are performed, wherein, in the arithmetic coding, a probability table for use in arithmetic coding is determined according to whether or not the size of the first processing unit is identical to the size of the second processing unit and whether or not the second processing unit has a predetermined maximum size.
1. A coding method for coding a picture signal for a first unit, the first unit including one or more second units, the coding method comprising:
transforming, for a second unit from among the one or more second units, the picture signal for the first unit into a coefficient and quantizing the coefficient; and
judging whether or not a size of the first unit is identical to a size of the second unit;
selecting a first probability table or a second probability table so that (i) the first probability table is selected when the size of the first unit is identical to the size of the second unit and (ii) the second probability table is selected when the size of the first unit is not identical to the size of the second unit regardless of the size of the second unit;
performing arithmetic coding on a luminance CBF flag indicating whether or not a quantized coefficient is included in the second unit, using the selected one of the first probability table and the second probability table,
wherein when the size of the second unit is a first size which is not identical to the size of the first unit, said selecting selects the second probability table, and
wherein when the size of the second unit is a second size which is not identical to the size of the first unit and not identical to the first size, said selecting selects the second probability table.
2. A coding apparatus for coding a picture signal for a first unit including one or more second units, the picture coding apparatus comprising:
a processor; and
a non-transitory memory having stored thereon executable instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform the following:
transforming, for a second unit from among the one or more second units, the picture signal for the first unit into a coefficient and quantizing the coefficient; and
judging whether or not a size of the first unit is identical to a size of the second unit;
selecting a first probability table or a second probability table so that (i) the first probability table is selected when the size of the first unit is identical to the size of the second unit and (ii) the second probability table is selected when the size of the first unit is not identical to the size of the second unit regardless of the size of the second unit; and
performing arithmetic coding on a luminance CBF flag indicating whether or not a quantized coefficient is included in the second unit, using the selected one of the first probability table and the second probability table,
wherein when the size of the second unit is a first size which is not identical to the size of the first unit, said selecting selects the second probability table, and
wherein when the size of the second unit is a second size which is not identical to the size of the first unit and not identical to the first size, said selecting selects the second probability table.
