Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A video encoder is configured to determine a first and second binary string for a value indicating the position of the last significant coefficient, within a video block of size T. A video decoder is configured to determine a value indicating the position of a last significant coefficient within a video block of size T based on a first and second binary string. In one example, the first binary string is based on a truncated unary coding scheme defined by a maximum bit length defined by 2 log 2 (T)−1 and the second binary string is based on a fixed length coding scheme defined by a maximum bit length defined by log 2 (T)−2.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for encoding video data comprising: obtaining a value indicating a position of a last significant coefficient within a video block of size T; determining a first binary string for the value indicating the position of the last significant coefficient based on a truncated unary coding scheme defined by a maximum bit length defined by 2log 2 (T)−1; determining a second binary string for the value indicating the position of the last significant coef…
