ABSTRACT:
A one-block extracting section extracts a pixel block from an input image signal. An area judging section calculates characteristic quantities such as variance information, histogram information and dynamic range information, and judges whether the pixel block is photographic or text-like based on the characteristic quantities. A photographic pixel block is coded by a transform coding section, and a text-like pixel block is coded by a block truncation coding section.
