Abstract

Provided are a method and apparatus for determining a context model for entropy encoding and decoding of a transformation coefficient. According to the method and apparatus, a context set index ctxset is obtained based on color component information of a transformation unit, a location of a current subset, and whether there is a significant transformation coefficient having a value greater than a first critical value in a previous subset, and a context offset c1 is obtained based on a length of a previous transformation coefficient having consecutive 1s. Also, a context index ctxids for entropy encoding and decoding of a first critical value flag is determined based on the obtained context set index and the context offset.

Claims (5)

1. An apparatus for determining a context model for entropy decoding, the apparatus comprising:

a context set obtaining unit that determines a current transform unit based on size information of a transform unit, wherein the size information is obtained from a bitstream, when the current transform unit is a transform unit of a chroma component, determines a context set of a current sub-block in the current transform unit independently of a position of the current sub-block, and when the current transform unit is a transform unit of a luminance component, determines the context set of the current sub-block in the current transform unit based on the position of the current sub-block; and

a context determining unit that determines a context model for obtaining first threshold value information based on the context set of the current sub-block,

wherein the first threshold value information indicates whether a current transformation coefficient in the current sub-block is greater than a first threshold value.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first threshold value is 1.
