Image coding method, image decoding method, image coding apparatus, image decoding apparatus, and image coding and decoding apparatus
An image coding method in which a chroma component and a luma component of an input image including one or more transform blocks are transformed to code the input image. The luma component has the same size as the current transform block. The chroma component is smaller than the current transform block. In the method, when the current transform block has a first minimum size, the chroma component is transformed on a basis of a block resulting from binding a plurality of the chroma blocks to has the same size as the luma block, and when the current transform block has a size other than the first minimum size, a CBF flag indicating whether or not coefficients of the chroma component include a non-zero coefficient is not coded.
1. An image decoding method of decoding an image from a coded bitstream,
the image including one or more transform blocks each having a luma component and a chroma component,
the luma component being to be processed on a basis of a luma block which belongs to a current one of the one or more transform blocks and has a same size as a size of the current transform block,
the chroma component being to be processed on a basis of a chroma block which belongs to a current one of the one or more transform blocks and has a size smaller than a size of the luma block, and
the image decoding method comprising:
decoding coefficients of the luma component and coefficients of the chroma component which are coded and included in the coded bitstream; and
deriving the luma component by performing transform on the coefficients of the luma component and deriving the chroma component by performing transform on the coefficients of the chroma component,
wherein in the deriving, when the size of the current transform block is a predetermined first minimum size, the coefficients of the chroma component are derived by performing the transform on the chroma component on a basis of a block resulting from binding a plurality of the chroma blocks, the resulting block having a same size as the size of the luma block, and
in the decoding, when the size of the current transform block is a size other than the first minimum size, a flag indicating whether or not the coefficients of the chroma component include a non-zero coefficient is decoded.
