Abstract

A moving picture coding apparatus 1 includes: a quantization matrix holding unit ( 112 ) that holds a quantization matrix (WM) which has already been transmitted in a parameter set and a matrix ID for identifying the quantization matrix (WM), which are associated with each other; and a variable length coding unit ( 111 ) that obtains the matrix ID corresponding to the quantization matrix (WM) used for quantization from the quantization matrix holding unit ( 112 ) and places the matrix ID in a coded stream Str.

Claims (17)

1. A coding method for coding a picture included in a moving picture by using a quantization matrix, said coding method comprising:

generating a matrix ID identifying a quantization matrix different from a default quantization matrix;

coding the quantization matrix identified by the matrix ID, in association with the matrix ID;

coding a current picture using the quantization matrix to generate data of the coded current picture; and

adding the matrix ID identifying the quantization matrix used in said coding of the current picture, to the data of the coded current picture,

wherein the picture is made up of a luma component, a first chroma component and a second chroma component, and

wherein said coding of the current picture,

when neither of the quantization matrix for the first chroma component and the quantization matrix for the second chroma component is coded in said coding of the quantization matrix identified by the matrix ID, the first chroma component and the second chroma component of the current picture are coded using the quantization matrix for the luma component, instead of the default quantization matrix, as the quantization matrix for the first chroma component and the second chroma component of the current picture,

wherein a processor is configured to execute the generating step, coding steps and adding step.

2. A coding method for coding a picture included in a moving picture by using a quantization matrix, said coding method comprising:

generating, by a moving picture coding apparatus, a matrix ID identifying a quantization matrix different from a default quantization matrix, the default quantization matrix differing for intra-picture coding and inter-picture coding;

coding, by the moving picture coding apparatus, the quantization matrix identified by the matrix ID, in association with the matrix ID;

coding, by the moving picture coding apparatus, a current picture in inter-picture coding mode using the quantization matrix to generate data of the coded current picture; and

adding, by the moving picture coding apparatus, the matrix ID identifying the quantization matrix used in said coding of the current picture, to the data of the coded current picture,

wherein the picture is made up of a luma component, a first chroma component and a second chroma component, and

wherein said coding of the current picture,

when neither of the quantization matrix for the first chroma component and the quantization matrix for the second chroma component is coded in said coding of the quantization matrix identified by the matrix ID, the first chroma component and the second chroma component of the current picture are coded using the quantization matrix for the luma component, instead of the default quantization matrix that differs for intra-picture coding and inter-picture coding, as the quantization matrix for the first chroma component and the second chroma component of the current picture.
