Encoder, decoder, encoding method, and decoding method
An encoder includes memory and circuitry which: (i) encodes an image block; (ii) when encoding the image block: binarizes coefficient information indicating coefficients of the image block; and controls whether to apply arithmetic encoding to a binary data string obtained by binarizing the coefficient information; and (iii) when binarizing the coefficient information: binarizes the coefficient information according to a first syntax structure when arithmetic encoding is applied to the data string and a predetermined condition is not satisfied; binarizes the coefficient information according to a second syntax structure when arithmetic encoding is applied to the data string and the predetermined condition is satisfied; binarizes the coefficient information according to the second syntax structure when no arithmetic encoding is applied to the data string; and subtracts 1 from a value of an initial non-zero coefficient when no arithmetic encoding is applied to the data string when encoding the image block.
1. A decoder, comprising:
circuitry; and
memory connected to the circuitry,
wherein the circuitry, in operation:
decodes an image block;
when decoding the image block:
obtains a bitstream including a binary data string which is obtained by binarizing binary coefficient information indicating a plurality of coefficients of the image block;
controls whether to apply arithmetic decoding to the binary data string;
inverse binarizes the binary data string to which arithmetic decoding has been applied or no arithmetic decoding has been applied; and
when inverse binarizing the binary data string:
inverse binarizes the binary data string according to a first syntax structure when arithmetic decoding has been applied to the binary data string and a predetermined condition is not satisfied;
inverse binarizes the binary data string according to a second syntax structure different from the first syntax structure when arithmetic decoding has been applied to the binary data string and the predetermined condition is satisfied;
inverse binarizes the binary data string according to the second syntax structure when no arithmetic decoding has been applied to the binary data string; and
adds 1 to a value of an initial non-zero coefficient in inverse binarization order among the plurality of coefficients after the inverse binarization of the binary data string, when no arithmetic decoding has been applied to the binary data string when decoding the image block.
2. The decoder according to claim 1 ,
wherein the predetermined condition is a condition that an inverse orthogonal transform process is skipped at a time when deriving prediction residuals of the image block from the coefficient information.
3. The decoder according to claim 1 ,
wherein the predetermined condition is a condition that a total number of syntax elements with which a decoding process has been performed in a region including the image block in a mode according to Context-based Adaptive Binary Arithmetic Coding (CABAC) is greater than or equal to a threshold value, the mode being different from a bypass mode.
4. The decoder according to claim 1 ,
wherein the bitstream indicates whether application of arithmetic decoding is valid in one of a sequence parameter set, a picture parameter set, and a slice header.
5. The decoder according to claim 1 ,
wherein the circuitry switches whether to apply arithmetic decoding collectively based on a unit including one or more slices or one or more pictures.
