Abstract

A method, device, and computer-readable medium for video coding or decoding wherein a number of blocks of residual picture data respectively stored in a number of first data arrays in a memory of a computer device represent at least a part of a video picture to be coded or decoded. The method includes calculating DC coefficients respectively associated with the blocks and inserting the DC coefficients in a second data array in a block associative order, classifying each of the blocks as skipped in response to an associated DC coefficient being lower than a predefined threshold, and non-skipped in response to the associated DC coefficient being higher than a predefined threshold, generating a bit mask containing 1-bits in positions corresponding to positions in the second data array having DC coefficients higher than the predefined threshold, and 0-bits in positions corresponding to positions in the second data array having DC coefficients lower than the predefined threshold.
