Intra luma block in Bink2 contains the following elements: CBP, quantiser, DCs and ACs.
CBP is coded as 32-bit bitmask depending on the previous CBP value. Internally top half is coded depending on bottom one and the whole bitmask is coded in nibbles starting from LSB.
Lower half decoding depends on the control bits:
11— simply return last CBP10— use low 16 bit from last CBP0— decode 4 low nibbles of CBP. Initial nibble value is set to(last_cbp >> 4) & 0xF, if the next bit is1then don’t change it, otherwise read new value from the bitstream (4 bits of course).
Now we can use these low 16 bits of CBP to restore high 16 bits. This is also done by nibbles and decoding depends on them (why nibbles? Because blocks are coded in groups of four).
pat4 = (last_cbp >> 20) & 0xF;
ref = cbp;
for (i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
if (!ones_count[ref & 0xF]) {
pat4 = 0;
} else if (ones_count[ref & 0xF] || getbit()) {
pat4 = 0;
for (bit = 1; bit < 0x10; bit <<= 1)
if ((ref & bit) && getbit())
pat4 |= bit;
} else {
pat4 &= ref & 0xF;
}
cbp |= pat4 << 16 + i * 4;
ref >>= 4
}
Essentially it decides what set bits to copy from the first part. And top 16 bits are not really a coded block pattern, it just tells decoder to use an alternative set of VLC codes in AC decoding.
Quantiser is coded with static VLC (plus sign bit for nonzero value) as a difference to the previous quantiser.
Quantisation table for DC: 4 4 4 4 4 6 7 8 10 12 16 24 32 48 64 128
16 DCs (coded with the same scheme as motion vector described in the previous post)
16 blocks of AC coefficients coded in groups of four. Each AC block is coded as (value, skip) pair where value is coded with static VLC that gives small levels (0-3) or number of bits for raw value to read. Skips have one peculiarity too: value coded with static VLC defines either skip (for values 0-10), escape value (when you got you need to read 6 bits with real skip value), end of block value and that the following 8 AC coefficients won’t have skip values coded after them.
Scan order is strange, here are first 8 indices from it: 0, 2, 1, 8, 9, 17, 10, 16, 24, 3, 18, 25, 32, 11, 33
