US Patent 10554988 Binary arithmetic coding with parameterized probability estimation finite state machines

For at least one respective bin of the bin stream, a decoder may determine, based on a state for the respective bin, an interval for the respective bin, and the offset value, a value of the respective bin. Additionally, the decoder determines one or more Finite State Machine (FSM) parameters for a next bin of the bin stream. The one or more FSM parameters for the next bin controls how probability estimates for the next bin are computed from a state for the respective bin. The decoder determines using a parameterized state updating function that takes as input the state for the respective bin, the one or more FSM parameters for the next bin of the bin stream, and the value of the respective bin, a state for the next bin of the bin stream. The decoder may debinarize the bin stream to form a decoded syntax element.
