Patent number: 12177447Abstract: Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for efficiently applying a transform skip mode to a transform block. According to an embodiment of the present invention, a video decoding apparatus determines, based on transform skip information associated with a current block, the transform skip information being decoded from a bitstream, whether a subblock for which transform is skipped and one or more subblocks to which transform is applied are included in the current block. When determining that the current block includes the subblock for which the transform is skipped and the one or more subblocks to which the transform is applied are included in the current block, the video decoding apparatus decodes a first residual subblock using a decoding procedure not involving inverse transform for the subblock for which the transform is skipped, and decodes one or more second residual subblocks using a decoding procedure involving the inverse transform for the one or more subblocks to which the transform is applied.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2020Date of Patent: December 24, 2024Assignees: Hyundai Motor Company, Kia Motors Corporation, Ewha University-Industry Collaboration FoundationInventors: Je Won Kang, Sang Hyo Park, Seung Wook Park, Wha Pyeong Lim
