PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and apparatus for coding of sample adaptive offset information.SOLUTION: There are disclosed a method and apparatus for simplifying SAO type index coding used in a video coding system. In the present embodiment, a SAO type index is coded using truncated unary binarization, using CABAC with only one context, or using CABAC with a context mode and a bypass mode. The context mode is used for a first bin associated with the SAO type index, and the bypass mode is used for any remaining bin. The SAO type index corresponds to a first SAO type index associated with a luma components of video data or a second SAO type index associated with a chroma component of the video data.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 8 |
