Abstract

The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a coefficient coding method, an encoder, a decoder, and a computer storage medium. The method includes the following. A bitstream is analyzed to obtain a video flag. When the video flag indicates that a video satisfies a predefined condition, the bitstream is analyzed to obtain a reverse position flag of the last significant coefficient and coordinate information of a last significant coefficient. When the reverse position flag of the last significant coefficient indicates that a last significant coefficient position is reversed for a current block, the last significant coefficient position is determined by calculation with the coordinate information of the last significant coefficient. According to a predefined scan order, all coefficients before the last significant coefficient position are decoded to determine the coefficients of the current block. As such, the throughput and speed of coefficient coding can be improved, and at the same time, compression efficiency is improved in video coding scenarios with high bit depth, high bit rate, high quality, or lossless compression.

Description

This patent application consists of a split application of the invention patent application BR 112023020915-3, dated April 12, 2021. FIELD OF TECHNIQUE [001] The embodiments of the present disclosure relate to the field of video coding technology and, in particular, to a coefficient coding method, an encoder, a decoder and a computer storage medium. BACKGROUND [002] Fields related to computer vision have been receiving increasing attention as people demand higher quality video display. In recent years, image processing technology has had successful applications in all spheres of life. In a video image encoding process, on one side of the encoding, the image data to be encoded is transformed and quantized, and then subjected to compression encoding by an entropy encoding unit, and a bitstream generated from the entropy encoding will be transmitted to a decoding side. On the decoding side, the bitstream is analyzed, and then inverse quantization and inverse transformation are performed so that the original input image data can be recovered. [003] Currently, compared to low bit-depth, low-quality, low-bitrate video encoding (referred to as “conventional video”), high bit-depth, high-quality, high-bitrate video encoding (referred to as “triple-high video”) generally requires encoding more and higher coefficients. In this case, using existing related solutions for triple-high video may result in higher overhead and waste, and may even affect encoding speed and throughput. SUMMARY [004] The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a coefficient coding method, an encoder, a decoder, and a computer storage medium, which can improve the throughput and speed of coefficient coding, while improving compression efficiency in high bit depth, high bit rate, high quality or lossless video coding scenarios.

When the video flag indicates that a video satisfies a predefined condition, the bitstream is analyzed to obtain a reverse position flag of the last significant coefficient and coordinate information of a last significant coefficient. When the reverse position flag of the last significant coefficient indicates that a position of the last significant coefficient is reversed for a current block, the position of the last significant coefficient is determined by calculation with the coordinate information of the last significant coefficient. According to a predefined scan order, all coefficients before the position of the last significant coefficient are decoded to determine the coefficients of the current block.
