ABSTRACT:
In a two-dimensional transform coding system, the transform coefficients are ordered according to the variance of the coefficients through a frame of coefficient blocks. Quantization bits are individually assigned to maximize the reduction in quantization error with each assignment. The coefficients are grouped according to the number of quantization bits assigned thereto. To assign each bit, the reduction in quantization error of the frame of the block is computed for the coefficient having the largest variance of each group as the product of the square of the variance and the normalized change in quantization error. The normalized change in quantization error may be stored in a lookup table as a function of the type of distribution of the coefficients.
