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 comprising:

a processor; and

memory,

wherein, using the memory, the processor:

determines whether intra prediction is to be used for a current block and whether the current block has a determined size;

when it is determined that intra prediction is to be used for the current block and that the current block has the determined size, further determines whether an intra prediction mode for the current block is a determined mode;

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

when the intra prediction mode is the determined mode, skips the second inverse transform, and performs 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 when at least one of a horizontal size and a vertical size of the current block has a determined length, the processor determines that the current block has the determined size.

4. A decoding method comprising:

determining whether intra prediction is to be used for a current block and whether the current block has a determined size;

when it is determined that intra prediction is to be used for the current block and that the current block has the determined size, further determining whether an intra prediction mode for the current block is a determined mode;

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

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