Abstract

A method of encoding video data by a device is provided. Transform coefficient values associated with a chroma coding block are received. The chroma coding block is one of chroma coding blocks resulting from partitioning a chroma coding tree block and misaligned with a luma coding tree block corresponding to the chroma coding tree block and partitioned into luma coding blocks which are organized into quantization groups such that luma quantization parameters are determined for the luma coding tree block. One of the luma quantization parameters that is mapped to the chroma coding block is identified. A predictive quantization parameter is derived by using a value derived from the identified luma quantization parameter. A chroma quantization parameter is determined by adding a delta quantization parameter associated with each of the chroma coding blocks to the predictive quantization parameter. Level values are generated based on the determined chroma quantization parameter.

The moving image decoding method includes decoding a wavefront parallel processing (WPP) enabled flag indicating whether a rectangular tile or a coding tree unit (CTU) row having a height of one CTU exists in a segment in an object tile group; and decoding an end bit of the segment. When the WPP enabled flag is 1, after decoding a CTU at a right end of the CTU row, an end bit of a first segment having a first fixed value is decoded. When the WPP enabled flag is 0, after decoding a CTU at a bottom right of a tile, an end bit of a second segment having a second fixed value is decoded.

Abstract

An image decoding apparatus capable of more preferably applying inverse non-separable transform and techniques related thereto are provided. A video decoding apparatus includes a header decoder configured to decode a flag indicating a high accuracy coding mode from a sequence parameter set SPS, a scaling processing unit configured to perform inverse quantization on a transform coefficient for each transform block, and an inverse transform processing unit configured to perform inverse transform. The scaling processing unit switches whether a variable for indicating a range of the transform coefficient depends on a bit depth or does not depend on the bit depth, based on the flag and a size of the transform block.

Abstract

A user equipment (UE) is described. The UE may comprise high-layer processing circuitry configured to acquire at least a first RRC parameter for indicating whether or not a transform precoder is enabled and a second RRC parameter for indicating whether or not a transform precoding indicator field is included in a DCI format, reception circuitry configured to receive the DCI format for scheduling of a PUSCH and transmission circuitry configured to transmit the PUSCH.
