Abstract

The image decoding method includes determining a context for use in a current block to be processed, from among a plurality of contexts, wherein in the determining: the context is determined under a condition that control parameters of a left block and an upper block are used, when the signal type is a first type; and the context is determined under a third condition that the control parameter of the upper block is not used and a hierarchical depth of a data unit to which the control parameter of the current block belongs is used, when the signal type is a third type, and the third type is one or more of (i) “merge_flag”, (ii) “ref_idx_l0” or “ref_idx_l1”, (iii) “inter_pred_flag”, (iv) “mvd_l0” or “mvd_l1”, (v) “intra_chroma_pred_mode”, (vi) “cbf_luma”, and (vii) “cbf_cb” or “cbf_cr”.
