A method for decoding a digital image from encoded data representative of the image. The image is divided into blocks processed in a defined order. The method includes, for a current block having a predetermined number (Mv) of lines and number (Mh) of columns: decoding coefficients of the current block from coded data; decoding an index representative of an identifier of a transform among a plurality of transforms and identifying the transform, a transform being expressed as a vertical subtransform of size Mv*Mv and a horizontal subtransform of size Mh*Mh; transforming the current block into a decoded block transformed, from the transform obtained, by successive application of the vertical subtransform and then the horizontal subtransform or respectively of the horizontal subtransform and then the vertical subtransform; and reconstructing the image from the transformed decoded block. The transforming includes: a modified use of core sub-transform coefficients, their absolute values being retained.

A method for decoding a current block of a digital image. The method includes: decoding coefficients of the current block; and transforming the current block into a decoded block, by implementing a first sub step to produce an intermediate block, that applies to the column and row vectors of the current block, and a second substep to produce a block of pixels that applies to the row and column vectors of the intermediate block, resulting from the first substep; and rebuilding the image from the decoded block. At least one of the first and second substeps includes, for an input row or column vector: forming a first subvector of size K&#x3c;N or N respectively from adjacent elements of the input vector; transforming the first subvector into a first transformed subvector by applying a partial subtransform of size K&#xd7;K; and building the transformed vector by inserting the first transformed subvector.
