Abstract

An encoder includes circuitry and memory. Using the memory, the circuitry performs a primary transform on a derived prediction error, performs a secondary transform on a result of the primary transform, quantizes a result of the secondary transform, and encodes a result of the quantization as data of an image. When a current block to be processed has a predetermined shape, the encoder performs the secondary transform using, among secondary transform basis candidates that are secondary bases usable in the secondary transform, only a secondary transform basis candidate having a size that is not largest size containable in the current block.

Claims (19)

1. An encoder comprising:

circuitry; and

memory,

wherein, using the memory, the circuitry:

derives a prediction error of a current block of an image;

performs, based on a size of the current block, either i) a primary transform on the prediction error and a secondary transform on a result of the primary transform, or ii) a primary transform on the prediction error and a secondary transform on a part of the result of the primary transform;

quantizes a result of the secondary transform; and

encodes a result of the quantization.

2. An encoding method comprising:

deriving a prediction error of a current block of an image;

performing, based on a size of the current block, either i) a primary transform on the prediction error and a secondary transform on a result of the primary transform, or ii) a primary transform on the prediction error and a secondary transform on a part of the result of the primary transform;

quantizing a result of the secondary transform; and

encoding a result of the quantization.

3. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a bitstream, the bitstream comprising:

a coded data of a current block on which a decoding process is performed by a decoder, the coded data including a first parameter according to which the decoder selects a second inverse transform basis from among second inverse transform basis candidates,

wherein the decoding process comprises:

inverse quantizing quantized coefficients of the current block;

performing, depending on a size of the current block, either (i) an inverse secondary transform on a part of a result of the inverse quantization and an inverse primary transform on a result of the inverse secondary transform and another part of the result of the inverse quantization, or (ii) the inverse secondary transform on the result of the inverse quantization and the inverse primary transform on the result of the inverse secondary transform; and

deriving an image based on a residual signal derived from a result of the inverse primary transform.
