Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a method for decoding a video signal based on adaptive multiple transforms (AMT). The method includes: obtaining an AMT index from the video signal, where the AMT index indicates any one of a plurality of transform combinations in a transform configuration group, and the transform configuration group includes discrete sine transform type 7 (DST7) and discrete cosine transform type 8 (DCT8); deriving a transform combination corresponding to the AMT index, where the transform combination includes a horizontal transform and a vertical transform, and at least one of the DST-7 or the DCT-8; performing an inverse transform on a current block on the basis of the transform combination; and restoring the video signal by using the inversely transformed current block. The AMT represents a transform scheme that is performed based on a transform combination adaptively selected from a plurality of transform combinations.

Claims (29)

1. A method of reconstructing a video signal, the method comprising:

determining a prediction mode as an inter prediction mode to be used for a block;

determining one transform configuration group of a plurality of transform configuration groups to be used for the block of the inter prediction mode, wherein each of the plurality of transform configuration groups includes a plurality of transform combinations;

obtaining a transform index, wherein the transform index (i) indicates one of a plurality of transform combinations of the determined one transform configuration group of the plurality of transform configuration groups, (ii) is a single transform index corresponding to a first index value for a horizontal transform and a second index value for a vertical transform, and (iii) is comprised of values of 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and wherein the first index value and the second index value are determined based on the transform index and the one transform configuration group;

deriving a transform combination corresponding to the transform index, wherein the transform combination is configured with a horizontal transform and a vertical transform and includes one of (DST(Discrete Sine Transform)-7, DST-7), (DST-7, DCT(Discrete Cosine Transform)-8), (DCT-8, DST-7) and (DCT-8, DCT-8);

performing an inverse transform on a transform unit based on the transform combination; and

reconstructing the video signal based on the transform unit.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transform combination is selected based on at least one of the prediction mode, a size or a shape of the transform unit.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

checking whether a number of non-zero transform coefficient is greater than a threshold,

wherein the transform index is obtained based on the number of non-zero transform coefficient is greater than the threshold.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein performing the inverse transform comprises applying an inverse transform of the DST-7 or an inverse transform of the DCT-8 to each row after applying the inverse transform of the DST-7 or the inverse transform of the DCT-8 to each column.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transform index is defined in at least one level of a sequence, a picture, a slice, a block, a coding unit, the transform unit or a prediction unit.

6. A method of encoding a video signal, the method comprising:

determining a prediction mode as an inter prediction mode to be used for a block;

deriving a transform combination being applied to a transform unit, wherein the transform combination is configured with a horizontal transform and a vertical transform and includes one of (DST-7, DST-7), (DST-7, DCT-8), (DCT-8, DST-7) and (DCT-8, DCT-8);

performing a transform on the transform unit based on the transform combination;

determining one transform configuration group of a plurality of transform configuration groups to be used for the block of the inter prediction mode, wherein each of the plurality of transform configuration groups includes a plurality of transform combinations;

generating a transform index corresponding to the transform combination,

wherein the transform index (i) indicates one of a plurality of transform combinations of the determined one transform configuration group of the plurality of transform configuration groups, (ii) is a single transform index corresponding to a first index value for a horizontal transform and a second index value for a vertical transform, and (iii) is comprised of values of 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and

wherein the first index value and the second index value are determined based on the transform index and the one transform configuration group.

7. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing picture information generated by performing the steps of:

determining a prediction mode as an inter prediction mode to be used for a block;

deriving a transform combination being applied to a transform unit, wherein the transform combination is configured with a horizontal transform and a vertical transform and includes one of (DST-7, DST-7), (DST-7, DCT-8), (DCT-8, DST-7) and (DCT-8, DCT-8);

performing a transform on the transform unit based on the transform combination;

determining one transform configuration group of a plurality of transform configuration groups to be used for the block of the inter prediction mode, wherein each of the plurality of transform configuration groups includes a plurality of transform combinations;

generating a transform index corresponding to the transform combination,

wherein the transform index (i) indicates one of a plurality of transform combinations of the determined one transform configuration group of the plurality of transform configuration groups, (ii) is a single transform index corresponding to a first index value for a horizontal transform and a second index value for a vertical transform, and (iii) is comprised of values of 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and

wherein the first index value and the second index value are determined based on the transform index and the one transform configuration group.
