Abstract
A method for coding a digital image divided into blocks. The method includes, for a current block: processing the current block to provide a vector of transformed coefficients; selecting a sequence of M signs of coefficients to be predicted in the coefficient vector, M being an integer greater than or equal to 2; predicting values of the signs from a plurality of assumptions of combinations and a cost function; and for a sign of the sequence, coding an indicator representing a difference between its actual value and its predicted value. The predicting includes, for at least one second, current assumption: obtaining a pixel vector associated with the current assumption, by linear combination of at least one pixel vector associated with a first assumption and at least one pattern vector obtained from the vector of transformed coefficients; an calculating the cost function for the current assumption from the pixel vector obtained.
