Abstract

The amount of processing is reduced with high coding efficiency maintained. There is provided an arithmetic decoding device including syntax decoding means for decoding each of at least a first syntax element and a second syntax element indicating a transform coefficient using arithmetic decoding with a context or arithmetic decoding without a context. The syntax decoding means performs decoding that at least includes not decoding the first syntax element and decoding the second syntax element using the arithmetic decoding without a context, and decoding the first syntax element using the arithmetic decoding with a context and decoding the second syntax element using the arithmetic decoding without a context.

Claims (15)

1. An arithmetic decoding device for arithmetically decoding coded data of a transform coefficient obtained by performing a frequency transform on a target image for each unit region, comprising:

syntax decoding circuitry that decodes a first syntax element and a second syntax element that indicate the transform coefficient; wherein

the first syntax element is decoded by using arithmetic decoding with a context or arithmetic decoding without a context,

the second syntax element is decoded without a context, and

the syntax decoding circuitry performs decoding that at least includes both: (i) not decoding the first syntax element and decoding the second syntax element, and (ii) decoding the first syntax element and the second syntax element.

2. An arithmetic coding device for generating coded data of a transform coefficient obtained by performing a frequency transform on a target image for each unit region, comprising:

syntax coding circuitry that arithmetically codes a first syntax element and a second syntax element that indicate the transform coefficient, wherein

the first syntax element is coded using arithmetic coding with a context or arithmetic coding without a context,

the second syntax element is coded using arithmetic coding without a context, and

the syntax coding circuitry performs coding that at least includes both: (i) not coding the first syntax element and coding the second syntax element, and (ii) coding the first syntax element and the second syntax element.

3. An arithmetic decoding method for arithmetically decoding coded data of a transform coefficient obtained by performing a frequency transform on a target image for each unit region, comprising:

decoding a first syntax element and a second syntax element that indicate the transform coefficient, wherein

the first syntax element is decoded using arithmetic decoding with a context or arithmetic decoding without a context,

the second syntax element is decoded using arithmetic decoding without a context, and

the decoding at least includes both: (i) not decoding the first syntax element and decoding the second syntax element, and (ii) decoding the first syntax element and the second syntax element.
