Abstract:
1. A method for encoding four luma binary data and one chroma binary data for an image block into a bitstream, each of the four luma binary data indicating a luma intra prediction mode used to predict luma samples in each of four subblocks constituting the image block and including a luma context-dependent segment and a luma context-independent segment, the one chroma binary data indicating a chroma intra prediction mode used to predict chroma samples in the image block and including a chroma context-dependent segment and a chroma context-independent segment, the method comprising: grouping four of the luma context-dependent segments and, separately, four of the luma context-independent segments; performing context adaptive binary arithmetic coding on the group of the four luma context-dependent segments using a variable probability to generate four coded luma context-dependent segments and, separately, performing context adaptive binary arithmetic coding on the chroma context-dependent segment to generate a coded chroma context-dependent segment; performing bypass coding on the group of the four luma context-independent segments using a fixed probability to generate four coded luma context-independent segments and, separately, performing bypass coding on the chroma context-independent segment to generate a coded chroma context-independent segment; and arranging the four coded luma context-dependent segments, the coded chroma context-dependent segment, the four coded luma context-independent segments and the coded chroma context-independent segment in the bitstream, wherein the bitstream includes, in a following order, the four coded luma context-dependent segments, the four coded luma context-independent segments, the coded chroma context-dependent segment and the coded chroma context-independent segment.
