ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for performing selective quantization by manipulation of refinement bits is described. In one embodiment, the method comprises performing a refinement coding pass to bit-planes of a code block to create refinement bits and setting refinement bits to the more probable symbol (MPS).
