“…Some of those techniques were based on improved versions of CAVLC or CABAC, others were using alternative methods of statistical coding, such as V2V (variable-to-variable) codes [34] or PIPE (probability interval partitioning entropy) codes [53,52,102], and a third category introduced increased capabilities for parallel processing on a bin level [85], syntax element level [91,92], or slice level [105,33,29]. In addition, improved techniques for coding of transform coefficients, such as zero-tree representations [7], alternate scanning schemes [41], or template-based context models [61,102], were proposed.…”
