  • Publication number: 20240137514
    Abstract: An encoder includes circuitry and memory. In both of a first type of residual coding where an orthogonal transform is applied and a second type of residual coding where the orthogonal transform is skipped, wherein when a restriction on a number of CABAC processes allows CABAC coding of a set of coefficient information flags, the circuitry: encodes the coefficient information flags by CABAC; and otherwise, the circuitry: skips the CABAC encoding of the coefficient information flags; and the circuitry encodes a remainder value of the coefficient with Golomb-Rice code when the coefficient information flags are encoded; and otherwise the circuitry encodes a value of the coefficient with the Golomb-Rice code, wherein in the second type of residual coding, the circuitry encodes absolute value flags each relating to an absolute value of the coefficient after encoding the coefficient information flags and before encoding the remainder value of the coefficient.

  • Publication number: 20240137521
    Abstract: An encoding method of generating a first bitstream to be merged with a second bitstream. The encoding method includes: determining a first adaptive loop filter (ALF) setting that is a setting of an ALF for a first subpicture to be encoded into the first bitstream; encoding first ALF setting information indicating the first ALF setting into the first bitstream; and encoding the first subpicture into the first bitstream according to the first ALF setting, in which, in the determining of the first ALF setting, an ALF setting that does not refer to an adaption parameter set (APS) index referred to in the second bitstream is determined as the first ALF setting.
