Abstract

Claims (43)

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

receiving a bitstream including a coded picture of the image signal;

dividing a transform block of a coding block in the coded picture into a plurality of partial blocks;

decoding a coefficient of the transform block in a unit of a partial block; and

reconstructing the transform block using the decoded coefficient,

wherein decoding the coefficient of the transform block comprises:

decoding a plurality of pieces of information for a current coefficient,

wherein the plurality of pieces of information include first information and second information, and the plurality of pieces of information does not include third information indicating an absolute value of the current coefficient is greater than 2,

wherein a value of the first information is different based on whether the absolute value of the current coefficient is greater than a first value,

wherein a value of the second information is different based on whether the absolute value of the current coefficient is greater than a second value,

wherein the first value is equal to 1 and the second value is equal to 3, and

wherein, only in response to the first information being a specific value, the second information is decoded.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of pieces of information further include fourth information,

wherein a value of the fourth information is different based on whether the absolute value of the current coefficient is greater than a third value, and

wherein the third value is a natural number greater than the second value.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the partial block is representative of a non-square block having a size of N×M.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein whether or not the partial block is a non-square block is determined based on both a size of the transform block and a shape of the transform block.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein a decoding order of the partial blocks belonging to the transform block is determined based on a pre-determined scan type, and

wherein the scan type is determined based on both a partitioning type of the coding block including the transform block and a size of the transform block.

6. A method of encoding an image signal, comprising:

receiving a picture of the image signal;

generating residual data of a transform block of a coding block in the picture, the residual data being a difference between an original block of the coding block and a prediction block of the coding block;

dividing the transform block into a plurality of partial blocks; and

encoding a coefficient of the transform block in units of the partial blocks,

wherein encoding the coefficient of the transform block comprises:

encoding a plurality of pieces of information for a current coefficient,

wherein the plurality of pieces of information include first information and second information, and the plurality of pieces of information does not include third information indicating an absolute value of the current coefficient is greater than 2,

wherein a value of the first information is different based on whether the absolute value of the current coefficient is greater than a first value,

wherein a value of the second information is different based on whether the absolute value of the current coefficient is greater than a second value,

wherein the first value is equal to 1 and the second value is equal to 3, and

wherein, only in response to the first information being a specific value, the second information is encoded.

7. A method of transmitting a bitstream generated by an encoding method, the encoding method comprising:

receiving a picture of the image signal;

generating residual data of a transform block of a coding block in the picture, the residual data being a difference between an original block of the coding block and a prediction block of the coding block;

dividing the transform block into a plurality of partial blocks;

encoding a coefficient of the transform block in units of the partial blocks; and

transmitting a bitstream generated based on the coefficient of the transform block wherein encoding the coefficient of the transform block comprises:

encoding a plurality of pieces of information for a current coefficient,

wherein the plurality of pieces of information include first information and second information, the plurality of pieces of information does not include third information indicating an absolute value of the current coefficient is greater than 2,

wherein a value of the first information is different based on whether the absolute value of the current coefficient is greater than a first value,

wherein a value of the second information is different based on whether the absolute value of the current coefficient is greater than a second value,

wherein the first value is equal to 1 and the second value is equal to 3, and

wherein, only in response to the first information being a specific value, the second information is encoded.
