Abstract
A method and apparatus for joint sign prediction of transform coefficients of residual blocks in a video coding system are disclosed. At the encoder side, a transform coefficient region or an index value range is determined according to coding context associated with the current block. A set of signs associated with a set of selected transform coefficients are determined for joint sign prediction are determined according to the transform coefficient region or the index value range. Joint sign prediction for the set of signs is determined by selecting a hypothesis from a group of hypotheses for the set of signs that achieves a minimum cost. The sign prediction is then used for coding the set of signs. A corresponding method and apparatus for the decoder side is also disclosed.
