ABSTRACT:
A method of representing an object appearing in a still or video image, by processing signals corresponding to the image, comprises deriving a plurality of sets of co-ordinate values representing the shape of the object and quantizing the co-ordinate values to derive a coded representation of the shape, and further comprises quantizing a first co-ordinate value over a first quantization range and quantizing a smaller co-ordinate value over a smaller range.
