Abstract:
A probably update method used in context-based adaptive binary arithmetic coding (CABAC) is disclosed. The probably update method for binary arithmetic decoding obtains an autocorrelation value of each bin by using values of received bins, determines at least one scaling factor used to update a probability of a binary value based on the autocorrelation value, and updates a probability used in context-based adaptive binary arithmetic decoding by using the determined at least one scaling factor.
Abstract:
Disclosed are a video encoding method and apparatus and a video decoding method and apparatus. The method of encoding video includes: producing a first predicted coding unit of a current coding unit, which is to be encoded; determining whether the current coding unit comprises a portion located outside a boundary of a current picture; and producing a second predicted coding unit is produced by changing a value of pixels of the first predicted coding unit by using the pixels of the first predicted coding unit and neighboring pixels of the pixels when the current coding unit does not include a portion located outside a boundary of the current picture. Accordingly, a residual block that is the difference between the current encoding unit and the second predicted encoding unit, can be encoded, thereby improving video prediction efficiency.
