Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The image coding method for coding an input image includes: converting, into a bin string, an offset value used in an offset process to be applied to a pixel value of a reconstructed image corresponding to the input image; and performing bypass arithmetic coding on the bin string using a fixed probability.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An image decoding method for decoding a coded image, the method comprising: performing, using a processor, bypass arithmetic decoding on a bin string using a fixed probability; converting the decoded bin string into a sample adaptive offset value; and applying, in a sample adaptive offset process, the sample adaptive offset value to a pixel value of a reconstructed image corresponding to the coded image. 2. An image decoding a…
