- CABAC Context-Based Adaptive Binary Arithmetic Coding
- Context-Based Adaptive (adapting based on context) is to adapt the encoding and decoding methods to fluctuations in statistical bias. That is, “Context-Based Adaptive” can be said to predict an appropriate probability as an occurrence probability of a symbol in accordance with an occurrence event of a surrounding condition when a certain symbol is encoded or decoded. For example, in encoding, when the occurrence probability p (x) of each value of a certain symbol S is determined, a conditional occurrence probability on the condition of an actually occurred event or a sequence of events F (z) is used.
- Bin string means that symbols are expressed in binary array. Symbols expressed in multiple values are once transformed into a binary array called bin string. Then, while switching and using the prediction probability (conditional probability) for each array element, it is converted into a bit string which of two value events has occurred. As a result, the probability of the value can be managed (initialized and updated) in a unit (binary element unit) that is more detailed than the unit of the signal type (see Fig. 2 in Non-Patent Document 1).
- “arithmetic” means that the above-described bit string generation processing is output by calculation instead of correspondence by a table.
- arithmetic means that the above-described bit string generation processing is output by calculation instead of correspondence by a table.
- the coding method using the variable length code table in H.263, MPEG-4 and H.264 even if the occurrence probability is a symbol having an occurrence probability higher than 0.5 (50%), Each needs to correspond to one binary string (bit string). Therefore, even for the value with the highest probability, one bit must be associated with one symbol at the shortest.
- arithmetic coding can express the occurrence of an event with a high probability with an integer value of 1 bit or less.

- Non-Patent Document 2 studies on context models in encoding and decoding of various control parameters are in progress (Non-Patent Document 2).
- the control parameter means a parameter (flag or the like) included in the encoded bit stream and used in the encoding process or the decoding process, and specifically, syntax element.
- the context model is (1) what unit (multi-value, binary value, or individual element of binary array (bin string)) (2) what condition is considered. It is information to show.
- what kind of condition is what kind of condition of the number of elements is applied, or what kind of signal type of the control parameter is considered as a condition.
- the number of times of learning for each condition decreases, so that the accuracy of probability prediction decreases (see, for example, “dilution effect” in Non-Patent Document 1).
- H.264 classifies the context model into four basic types (basic design types) while using a limited number of pre-events for symbol coding as a rule rule.
- the first and second types relate to encoding and decoding of control parameters.
- the first type of context model uses two adjacent encoded values with an upper limit of two (up to two) (see Non-Patent Document 1).
- the definition of two adjacent encoded values depends on the signal type of the control parameter, but usually uses the value of the corresponding control parameter included in the adjacent block on the left and above.
- the type of the second context model is a type that determines a context based on a binary tree as an occurrence probability. Specifically, it is applied to the control parameters mb_type and sub_mb_type.
- the third and fourth types relate to encoding and decoding of residual values (residual data) such as image data.
- residual values residual data
- residual data residual data
- the third type only values encoded or decoded in the past are used in accordance with the scanning order of frequency coefficients (or quantization coefficients).
- the fourth type the context is determined according to the value (level value) decoded and accumulated.
- the design policy and implementation method of the stochastic transition model in H.264 such as the first type has been verified for a long time, and studies are proceeding to be applied to the HEVC currently under study (non-patent literature) 2).

- (xL, yP) indicate pixel positions included in the block A used as condition B (value of the control parameter skip_flag of the left block).
- the encoding / decoding device in order to encode or decode the value of the control parameter skip_flag of the block C, the encoding / decoding device has the value of the skip_flag of the PU corresponding to the position of (xP, yA) included in the upper block B ( Alternatively, the determination result of the condition) and the PU skip_flag value (or the determination result of the condition) corresponding to the position of (xL, yP) included in the left block A must be held.

- the block size of the encoding target block C is variable, for example, 64 ⁇ 64, 16 ⁇ 16, 4 ⁇ 4, or the like.
- the block size of the block C to be encoded or decoded later cannot be predicted. This is because the encoding or decoding device can know the size of each block in the lower row (the row including block C) at the time of encoding or decoding the upper row (the row including block A). This is because there is not.
- the encoding or decoding apparatus assumes that the minimum block size is used as the block size of the lower row among the block sizes to which the control parameter is applied, and sets the control parameter for each minimum block size.
- the value (or judgment value) must be retained. Note that the position of the black circle in FIG. 18 is a condition that must be retained even though the condition value is not actually required in encoding or decoding of the lower row (the row including the block C). Show.

- the first type includes “split_coding_unit_flag” or “skip_flag”
- the second type or the third type includes “no_residual_data_flag”.
- no_residual_data_flag indicates the presence / absence of coefficient of luminance and color difference (residual). Further, this residual becomes large in the case of intra prediction and becomes small in the case of inter prediction. Therefore, when the mode of the surrounding block is different from the mode of the target block (when the characteristics are different), the encoding efficiency is lowered. For example, when the target block is intra predicted and the surrounding blocks are inter predicted, the residual of the target block is small and the residual of the surrounding blocks is large. As a result, when the surrounding context is used, the encoding efficiency decreases. Therefore, the context control units 142 and 242 can improve the encoding efficiency by using the context of the target block without depending on the surrounding blocks.

上記各実施の形態で示した動画像符号化方法または装置と、MPEG-2、MPEG4-AVC、VC-1など異なる規格に準拠した動画像符号化方法または装置とを、必要に応じて適宜切替えることにより、映像データを生成することも可能である。
上記各実施の形態で示した動画像符号化方法および装置、動画像復号化方法および装置は、典型的には集積回路であるLSIで実現される。一例として、図33に1チップ化されたLSIex500の構成を示す。LSIex500は、以下に説明する要素ex501、ex502、ex503、ex504、ex505、ex506、ex507、ex508、ex509を備え、各要素はバスex510を介して接続している。電源回路部ex505は電源がオン状態の場合に各部に対して電力を供給することで動作可能な状態に起動する。
