Abstract

An encoder which encodes a current block of a picture includes a processor and memory. Using the memory, the processor: determines whether intra prediction is to be used for the current block; and when it is determined that intra prediction is to be used for the current block, generates first transform coefficients by performing first transform of residual signals of the current block using a first transform basis; quantizes the first transform coefficients when an intra prediction mode for the current block is a determined mode and the first transform basis is different from a determined transform basis; and generates second transform coefficients by performing second transform of the first transform coefficients using a second transform basis, and quantizes the second transform coefficients, when the intra prediction mode for the current block is not the determined mode or when the first transform basis matches the determined transform basis.

Claims (17)

1. A decoder which decodes a current block to be decoded of a picture, the decoder comprising:

a processor; and

memory,

wherein, using the memory, the processor:

determines whether intra prediction is to be used for the current block;

when it is determined that intra prediction is to be used for the current block, determines whether an intra prediction mode for the current block is a determined mode, and whether a first inverse transform basis for the current block matches a determined inverse transform basis;

when the intra prediction mode is not the determined mode, or when the first inverse transform basis matches the determined inverse transform basis, performs, using a second inverse transform basis, second inverse transform of inverse quantized coefficients of the current block, and further performs, using the first inverse transform basis, first inverse transform of coefficients obtained through the second inverse transform; and

when the intra prediction mode is the determined mode and the first inverse transform basis is different from the determined inverse transform basis, skips the second inverse transform, and performs, using the first inverse transform basis, first inverse transform of the inverse quantized coefficients of the current block.

2. The decoder according to claim 1 ,

wherein the determined mode is a non-directional prediction mode.

3. The decoder according to claim 1 ,

wherein the determined transform basis is a type-II discrete cosine transform basis.

4. A decoding method for decoding a current block to be decoded of a picture, the decoding method comprising:

determining whether intra prediction is to be used for the current block;

when it is determined that intra prediction is to be used for the current block, determining whether an intra prediction mode for the current block is a determined mode, and whether a first inverse transform basis for the current block matches a determined inverse transform basis;

when the intra prediction mode is not the determined mode, or when the first inverse transform basis matches the determined inverse transform basis, performing, using a second inverse transform basis, second inverse transform of inverse quantized coefficients of the current block, and further performing, using the first inverse transform basis, first inverse transform of coefficients obtained through the second inverse transform; and

when the intra prediction mode is the determined mode and the first inverse transform basis is different from the determined inverse transform basis, skipping the second inverse transform, and performing, using the first inverse transform basis, first inverse transform of the inverse quantized coefficients of the current block.
