Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Wedgelet-based coding for coding blocks of varying size is rendered more efficient by the usage of a variable length coded syntax element having a prefix and a suffix, wherein the size of the suffix is dependent on the prefix and the size of the current coding block. By this measure, it is feasible to efficiently adapt the length of the variable-length coded syntax element which controls the bi-partitioning of the current coding block to the actual needs, namely the size, of the current coding block, and the variability of the bi-partitioning by varying the wedglet separation line, respectively. The greater the current coding block is, the longer the variable-length coded syntax element may be. This length dependency may even be sufficiently effective in terms of coding efficiency so that the variable length coded syntax element may be coded without context-adaptive entropy coding, but directly or using fixed-equal-probability binary entropy coding.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A decoder supporting wedgelet-based decoding of coding blocks, comprising: a length determiner configured to determine a length of a variable-length coded syntax element associated with a current coding block based on a size of the current coding block; a reader configured to read, using the length determined, the variable-length coded syntax element from a data stream directly or using fixed-equal-probability binary entropy decoding; a wedgelet bi-partitioner configured to determine a bi-partitioning of the current coding block into two wedgelets based on the variable-length coded syntax element; and a reconstructor configured to reconstruct the current coding block in accordance with the bi-partitioning. 2 .- 20 . (canceled)
