Abstract

In a picture coding device, a significant coefficient information coding controller 706 and an arithmetic encoder 701 code significant difference coefficient information indicating that a difference coefficient value is not zero and significant for each of the difference coefficients in the partial region of the coding target. A difference coefficient value coding controller 707 and the arithmetic encoder 701 code difference coefficient values when significant difference coefficient information is significant for each of pixels in the partial region of the coding target. The significant coefficient information coding controller 706 decides a context for coding the significant difference coefficient information in the partial region of the coding target based on information indicating significance of the difference coefficient in the coded partial region.

Claims (15)

1. A picture decoding device that decodes a bitstream obtained by partitioning difference information between a picture serving as a decoding target and a picture serving as a prediction target into a plurality of sub blocks and coding partitioned sub blocks in a certain order, the picture decoding device comprising:

2. A picture decoding method that decodes a bitstream obtained by partitioning difference information between a picture serving as a decoding target and a picture serving as a prediction target into a plurality of sub blocks and coding partitioned sub blocks in a certain order, the picture decoding method comprising:

decoding significant sub block information indicating whether or not all values of difference coefficients belonging to a sub block serving as a decoding target are zero;

decoding significant difference coefficient information indicating whether or not value of a difference coefficient is zero;

3. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having embodied thereon a picture decoding program decoding a bitstream obtained by partitioning difference information between a picture serving as a decoding target and a picture serving as a prediction target into a plurality of sub blocks and coding partitioned sub blocks in a certain order, the program comprising:

decoding significant sub block information indicating whether or not all values of difference coefficients belonging to a sub block serving as a decoding target are zero;

decoding significant difference coefficient information indicating whether or not value of a difference coefficient is zero;
