Abstract

An image decoding method is disclosed in the present specification. A method of decoding an image, the method may comprises determining whether to perform a context update for a first syntax element of a current block, updating, on the basis of the determination, a context for entropy decoding of the first syntax element and generating, on the basis of the updated context, a bin for the first syntax element, and wherein whether to perform the context update is determined on the basis of the number of pre-decoded predetermined syntax elements for the current block.

Claims (29)

1. A method of decoding an image, the method comprising:

determining whether to perform a context update for a first syntax element of a current block;

updating a context for entropy decoding of the first syntax element in a case that it is determined to perform the context update; and

generating, on the basis of the updated context, a bin for the first syntax element,

wherein whether to perform the context update is determined based on a comparison between the number of decoded predetermined syntax elements for the current block and a value determined based on a size of the current block.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein when the number of the decoded predetermined syntax elements is equal to or less than the value, the context update for the first syntax element is performed.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein a transform skip mode is applied to the current block.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first syntax element is the syntax element indicating a sign of a coefficient.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the first syntax element is coeff_sign_flag.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the predetermined syntax element is at least one of residual signal-related syntax elements.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the predetermined syntax elements comprise a sig_coeff_flag and a par_level_flag.

8. A method of encoding an image, the method comprising:

generating a bin for a first syntax element of a current block by binarizing the first syntax element;

determining whether to perform a context update for the first syntax element;

updating a context for entropy encoding of the first syntax element in a case that it is determined to perform the context update; and

generating a bitstream for the current block by using the updated context and the generated bin,

wherein whether to perform the context update is determined based on a comparison between the number of encoded predetermined syntax elements for the current block and a value determined based on a size of the current block.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein when the number of the encoded predetermined syntax elements is equal to or less than the value, the context update for the first syntax element is performed.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein a transform skip mode is applied to the current block.

11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the first syntax element is the syntax element indicating a sign of a coefficient.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the first syntax element is coeff_sign_flag.

13. The method of claim 8 , wherein the predetermined syntax element is at least one of residual signal-related syntax elements.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the predetermined syntax elements comprise a sig_coeff_flag and a par_level_flag.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a bitstream that is used to reconstruct a current block included in a current picture, wherein the bitstream is generated by a method of encoding an image, the method including:

generating a bin for a first syntax element of the current block by binarizing the first syntax element;

determining whether to perform a context update for the first syntax element;

updating a context for entropy encoding of the first syntax element in a case that it is determined to perform the context update; and

generating a bitstream by using the updated context and the generated bin,

wherein whether to perform the context update is determined based on a comparison between the number of decoded predetermined syntax elements for the current block and a value determined based on a size of the current block.
