Abstract:
The image decoding method includes: determining a context for use in a current block, from among a plurality of contexts (S204); and performing arithmetic decoding on a bit sequence corresponding to the current block, using the determined context (S210), wherein in the determining (S204): the context is determined under a condition that control parameters of neighboring blocks of the current block are used, when the signal type is a first type, the neighboring blocks being a left block and an upper block of the current block (S206); and the context is determined under a condition that the control parameter of the upper block is not used, when the signal type is a second type (S207), and the second type is one of "mvd_I0" and "mvd_I1".
Abstract:
An image coding method bitstream includes: determining a maximum number of a merging candidate which is a combination of a prediction direction, a motion vector, and a reference picture index for use in coding of a current block (S201); deriving a first merging candidate (S202); determining whether or not a total number of the first merging candidate is smaller than the maximum number (S204); deriving a second merging candidate when it is determined that the total number of the first merging candidate is smaller than the maximum number (S205); selecting a merging candidate for use in the coding of the current block from the first merging candidate and the second merging candidate (S206); and coding, using the maximum number, an index for identifying the selected merging candidate, and attaching the coded index to the bitstream (S207).

A video encoding method using a plurality of reference pictures includes: selecting (300) whether or not a resilient picture referencing scheme is to be used for encoding video; writing (302) a parameter indicating the selection into a header of an encoded video bitstream; and encoding (304) a picture using inter-picture prediction using a result of the selection.
Abstract:
An image coding method according to the present invention partitions an input image signal (120) into processing units, and codes the partitioned image to generate a code sequence (140), the image coding method including: determining a partitioning pattern for hierarchically partitioning the input image signal (120) in order starting from a largest unit of the processing units; generating partition information (131) indicative of the partitioning pattern; and coding partition information (131), wherein the partition information (131) includes maximum used hierarchy depth information (used_max_depth) indicative of a maximum used hierarchy depth which is a hierarchy depth of a deepest processing unit of the processing units included in the partitioning pattern.
Abstract:
A moving picture coding apparatus (100) includes an intra-inter prediction unit (107) which calculates a second motion vector by performing a scaling process on a first motion vector of a temporally neighboring corresponding block, when selectively adding, to a list, a motion vector of each of one or more corresponding blocks each of which is either a block included in a current picture to be coded and spatially neighboring a current block to be coded or a block included in a picture other than the current picture and temporally neighboring the current block, determines whether the second motion vector has a magnitude that is within a predetermined magnitude or not within the predetermined magnitude, and adds the second motion vector to the list when the intra-inter prediction unit determines that the second motion vector has a magnitude that is within the predetermined magnitude range.
