Filed: 2019-06-25
Abstract: Image data encoding, comprising selectively entropy encoding image data items by a first, context adaptive binary arithmetic coding (CABAC), encoding system or by a second, bypass (equal probability), encoding system to generate encoded binarized symbols. Each picture of the image data comprises output data units representing: (i) one or more slices within respective network abstraction layer (NAL) units, each slice within a picture being independently decodable; and (ii) zero or more tiles defining respective horizontal and vertical boundaries of picture regions and which are not constrained to be encapsulated within respective NAL units, the tiles being decodable independently of other tiles of the same picture. The entropy encoder generates an output data stream 2110 subject to a constraint defining an upper limit to the number of binarized symbols that may be expressed by any individual output data unit (BinCountsInNALunits) relative to the size in bytes of that output data unit (NumBytesInVclNALunits). The entropy encoder applies the constraint to each output data unit (slice or tile) to provide padding data 2120 for each slice or tile to increase the size in bytes of that output data unit in order to meet the constraint.
