Abstract: A transform type is obtained for decoding the transform block of transform coefficients. A template for entropy-decoding values related to the transform coefficients is selected based on the transform type. The template indicates, for a to-be-coded value, positions of already coded values. A context for selecting a probability distribution for entropy decoding a current value of the values is determined using the template. The current value is entropy decoded from a compressed bitstream using the probability distribution.
