Abstract

When intra prediction is to be used, an encoder determines whether an adaptive basis selection mode is to be used and whether a size of the current block matches a determined size. When the adaptive basis selection mode is to be used and the size matches the determined size, the encoder fixes the first transform basis for the current block to a first determined transform basis in the adaptive basis selection mode, and generates first transform coefficients by performing first transform of residual signals of the current block using the first determined transform basis; quantizes the first transform coefficients when an intra prediction mode for the current block is a determined mode; 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 is not the determined mode.

Claims (16)

1. An encoder which encodes a current block to be encoded of a picture, the encoder comprising:

a processor; and

memory,

wherein, using the memory, the processor determines whether intra prediction is to be used for the current block,

when the processor determines that intra prediction is to be used for the current block, the processor further determines whether an adaptive basis selection mode in which a first transform basis is selectable from a plurality of first transform basis candidates is to be used for the current block, and the processor further determines whether a size of the current block satisfies a predetermined condition, and

when the processor determines that the adaptive basis selection mode is to be used for the current block and when the processor determines that the size of the current block satisfies the predetermined condition, the processor further:

(i) selects the first transform basis in the adaptive basis selection mode, and generates first transform coefficients by performing first transform of residual signals of the current block using the first transform basis;

(ii-1) when an intra prediction mode for the current block is a determined mode, quantizes and encodes the first transform coefficients; and

(ii-2) when the intra prediction mode for the current block is not the determined mode, generates second transform coefficients by performing second transform of the first transform coefficients using a second transform basis, and quantizes and encodes the second transform coefficients.

2. An encoding method for encoding a current block to be encoded of a picture, the encoding 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 adaptive basis selection mode in which a first transform basis is selectable from a plurality of first transform basis candidates is to be used for the current block and determining whether a size of the current block satisfies a predetermined condition; and

when it is determined that the adaptive basis selection mode is to be used for the current block and when it is determined that the size of the current block satisfies the predetermined condition:

(i) selecting the first transform basis for the current block in the adaptive basis selection mode, and generating first transform coefficients by performing first transform of residual signals of the current block using the first transform basis;

(ii-1) when an intra prediction mode for the current block is a determined mode, quantizing and encoding the first transform coefficients; and

(ii-2) when the intra prediction mode for the current block is not the determined mode, generating second transform coefficients by performing second transform of the first transform coefficients using a second transform basis, and quantizing and encoding the second transform coefficients.
