Abstract
The moving picture coding method for coding an input image includes: converting a value of a first parameter into a first binary signal, the first parameter identifying a type of a sample offset process to be applied to a reconstructed image corresponding to the input image; and coding at least a portion of the first binary signal through bypass arithmetic coding using a fixed probability.
Claims2
A moving picture coding method for coding an input image, the method comprising:
- converting, using a binarizer, a value of a first parameter into a first binary signal, the first parameter identifying a type of a sample offset process to be applied to a reconstructed image corresponding to the input image;
- coding a first portion of the first binary signal through context-adaptive arithmetic coding;
- and
- coding, when a value of the first portion of the first binary signal is greater than or equal to a predetermined value, a second portion of the first binary signal through bypass arithmetic coding using a fixed probability,
- wherein a variable probability is not used in the bypass arithmetic coding,
- the first portion of the first binary signal is composed of a head bit of the first binary signal, and
- the second portion of the first binary signal is composed of one or more remaining bits of the first binary signal.
A moving picture coding apparatus that codes an input image, the apparatus comprising:
- a converter that converts, using a binarizer, a value of a first parameter into a first binary signal, the first parameter identifying a type of a sample offset process to be applied to a reconstructed image corresponding to the input image;
- a first coder that codes a first portion of the first binary signal through context-adaptive arithmetic coding;
- and
- a second coder that codes, when a value of the first portion of the first binary signal is greater than or equal to a predetermined value, a second portion of the first binary signal through bypass arithmetic coding using a fixed probability,
- wherein a variable probability is not used in the bypass arithmetic coding,
- the first portion of the first binary signal is composed of a head bit of the first binary signal, and
- the second portion of the first binary signal is composed of one or more remaining bits of the first binary signal.
