Abstract

An image decoding apparatus including a header decoder configured to decode, from coded data, a flag indicating whether dependent quantization is enabled and a flag prohibiting transform skip residual quantization, and a TU decoder configured to decode a transform coefficient in a TU block in an RRC mode in which a LAST position is coded, the LAST position corresponding to a decoding start position for the transform coefficient, or a TSRC mode in which the LAST position is not coded. The TU decoder performs dependent quantization in the RRC mode in a case that the transform coefficient for transform skip is decoded in the TSRC mode, and does not perform dependent quantization in the RRC mode in a case that the transform coefficient for transform skip is decoded in the RRC mode.

Claims (12)

1. A decoder for decoding residual coding information, the decoder comprising:

a header decoder that decodes:

(i) a transform skip enabled flag in a sequence parameter set; and

(ii) a transform skip residual coding disabled flag specifying whether a transform skip residual coding is used, based on a value of the transform skip enabled flag being equal to one; and

a TU decoder that decodes:

(i) a transform skip flag specifying whether a transform is applied to an associated block or not, based on the value of the transform skip enabled flag being equal to one and a value of a bdpcm flag being equal to zero; and

(ii) a transform coefficient data by using a regular residual coding which is used for decoding a syntax element specifying a position of a last significant coefficient in a scanning order within a transform block or the transform skip residual coding which is used for decoding without a transform,

wherein:

if a value of the transform skip flag is equal to zero or a value of the transform skip residual coding disabled flag is equal to one, the TU decoder uses the regular residual coding;

otherwise, the TU decoder uses the transform skip residual coding;

a value of the transform skip residual coding disabled flag is inferred to be equal to zero, in a case that the transform skip residual coding disabled flag is not present; and

the transform skip flag is not present in a transform unit syntax structure in a case that the value of the transform skip enabled flag is equal to zero.
