FIELD: information technology.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to decoding video based on arithmetic decoding. Disclosed is method of decoding a video through symbol decoding, said method including: parsing symbols of image blocks from a received bit stream; classifying a current symbol into a prefix bit string and a suffix bit string based on a threshold value determined according to a size of a current block; performing arithmetic decoding by using an arithmetic decoding method determined for each of prefix bit string and suffix bit string; and performing inverse binarisation by using a binarisation method determined for each of prefix bit string and suffix bit string.
EFFECT: technical result is improved efficiency of symbol decoding process.
