ABSTRACT:
In a method of adaptively encoding input image data of a motion image in accordance with a temporal complexity of the motion image, and an apparatus therefore, the temporal complexity of the input image data is calculated. Next, an original frame rate of the input image data is converted into a converted frame rate based on the calculated temporal complexity. Thereafter, the input image data whose frame rate has been converted is encoded, and the encoding data of the encoded image data is controlled so that the encoded image data has information on the converted frame rate. Accordingly, the input image data is encoded at different frame rates in accordance with the temporal complexity of the input image data. Consequently, the encoded input image data is efficiently stored.
