ABSTRACT:
In a method for encoding a binary alpha block (BAB) within a current frame based on the current frame and a previous frame, even-numbered horizontal lines of the BAB are sampled to generate a first block and even-numbered vertical lines of the first block are sampled to generate a first sample block. And then, a reconstructed first block and a reconstructed BAB are generated by inserting reconstructed vertical and horizontal lines sequentially at locations of odd-numbered vertical and horizontal lines thereof, respectively. In the above, binary values of first and second binary pixels of the reconstructed vertical and horizontal lines are made by using corresponding first and second context values based on predetermined probability tables, respectively, wherein the corresponding first and second context values are calculated by using the context values of binary pixels within the previous frame located at identical positions to the first and second binary pixels, respectively; and context values of binary pixels located at surrounding positions of the first and the second binary pixels except a binary pixel below the first binary pixel and a binary pixel right to the second binary pixel, respectively.
