METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ENCODING IMAGE BY EXPONENTIAL GOLOMB BINARIZATION USING OPTIMAL THRESHOLD, AND METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DECODING IMAGE BY EXPONENTIAL GOLOMB BINARIZATION USING OPTIMAL THRESHOLD

摘要

A method and apparatus for coding an image by using exponential Golomb binarization are provided. The method comprises: performing entropy coding on an input image by performing exponential Golomb binarization using a plurality of predetermined thresholds; measuring a bit rate of a bit stream which is generated by performing the entropy coding using each threshold; and determining an optimal threshold by comparing bit rates with regard to the thresholds.
