Abstract

An encoding method includes: encoding transform coefficients of a transform coefficient block according to a predetermined scan order, and encoding a set number of transform coefficients in each group until a last group of the transform coefficient block is encoded; storing an obtained map of non-zero transform coefficients, absolute values of transform coefficients, and positive and negative signs of non-zero transform coefficients; when the last group is being encoded, encoding the stored map of non-zero transform coefficients and the map of non-zero transform coefficients encoded in the last group into a bit stream; and encoding the stored absolute values of transform coefficients and positive and negative signs of non-zero transform coefficients and the absolute values of transform coefficients and positive and negative signs of non-zero transform coefficients encoded in the last group into the bit stream.
