Abstract

A video signal processing method comprises: obtaining, from a bitstream, a skip parameter (cu_skip_flag) indicating whether a skip mode is applied to a current block; when the skip parameter indicates that a mode is not the skip mode, obtaining, from the bitstream, a merge parameter (merge_flag) indicating whether the current block is coded with a merge mode; and determining whether a coded block flag (CBF) parameter (cu_cbf), which indicates whether a syntax element related to transform is obtained from the bitstream, is obtained, according to a value of the merge parameter, wherein, when the value of the merge parameter indicates the merge mode, the CBF parameter is not obtained from the bitstream and is determined to be a preconfigured value.

Claims (63)

1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a bitstream, the bitstream being decoded by a decoding method,

wherein the decoding method, comprising:

parsing a first parameter,

wherein the first parameter indicates whether a skip mode is applied to a current block;

parsing a second parameter, when the first parameter indicates the skip mode is not applied to the current block,

wherein the second parameter indicates whether the current block is coded with a merge mode,

wherein when the first parameter indicates the skip mode is applied to the current block, the second parameter is not parsed, and a value of the second parameter is inferred as a value indicating that the current block is coded with the merge mode; and

parsing a third parameter, when the second parameter indicates the current block is not coded with the merge mode,

wherein the third parameter indicates whether a transform tree syntax structure is present for a coding unit related to the current block,

wherein when the second parameter indicates the current block is coded with the merge mode, the third parameter is not parsed, and a value of the third parameter is inferred based on the first parameter,

wherein when the first parameter indicates the skip mode is applied to the current block, the value of the third parameter is inferred as a value indicating that the transform tree syntax structure is not present for the coding unit related to the current block,

wherein when the first parameter indicates the skip mode is not applied to the current block, the value of the third parameter is inferred as a value indicating that the transform tree syntax structure is present for the coding unit related to the current block.

2. The non-transitory computer-readable medium storing the bitstream of claim 1 , wherein the first parameter is parsed based on a type of slice including the current block.

3. The non-transitory computer-readable medium storing the bitstream of claim 2 , wherein the type of slice is not I slice.

4. The non-transitory computer-readable medium storing the bitstream of claim 1 , the decoding method further comprising:

parsing a fourth parameter, when the first parameter indicates the skip mode is not applied to the current block,

wherein the fourth parameter indicates a prediction mode of the current block,

wherein the third parameter is parsed based on the prediction mode of the current block.

5. The non-transitory computer-readable medium storing the bitstream of claim 4 , wherein, the prediction mode of the current block is not an intra prediction mode.

6. A device for decoding a video signal, the device comprising a processor,

wherein the processor is configured to:

parse a first parameter,

wherein the first parameter indicates whether a skip mode is applied to a current block;

parse a second parameter, when the first parameter indicates the skip mode is not applied to the current block,

wherein the second parameter indicates whether the current block is coded with a merge mode,

wherein when the first parameter indicates the skip mode is applied to the current block, the second parameter is not parsed, and a value of the second parameter is inferred as a value indicating that the current block is coded with the merge mode; and

parse a third parameter, when the second parameter indicates the current block is not coded with the merge mode,

wherein the third parameter indicates whether a transform tree syntax structure is present for a coding unit related to the current block,

wherein when the second parameter indicates the current block is coded with the merge mode, the third parameter is not parsed, and a value of the third parameter is inferred based on the first parameter,

wherein when the first parameter indicates the skip mode is applied to the current block, the value of the third parameter is inferred as a value indicating that the transform tree syntax structure is not present for the coding unit related to the current block,

wherein when the first parameter indicates the skip mode is not applied to the current block, the value of the third parameter is inferred as a value indicating that the transform tree syntax structure is present for the coding unit related to the current block.

7. The device of claim 6 , wherein, the first parameter is parsed based on a type of slice including the current block.

8. The device of claim 7 , wherein the type of slice is not I slice.

9. The device of claim 6 ,

wherein the processor is configured to:

parse a fourth parameter, when the first parameter indicates the skip mode is not applied to the current block,

wherein the fourth parameter indicates a prediction mode of the current block,

wherein the third parameter is parsed based on the prediction mode of the current block.

10. The device of claim 9 ,

wherein the prediction mode of the current block is not an intra prediction mode.

11. A device for encoding a video signal, the device comprising a processor,

obtain a bitstream to be decoded by a decoder using a decoding method,

wherein the decoding method comprising:

parsing a first parameter,

wherein the first parameter indicates whether a skip mode is applied to a current block;
