ABSTRACT:
Picture data into small-area blocks, which are then shuffled. The shuffled picture data is then subjected to orthogonal transform. A total-frequency-range activity of transform coefficients is calculated on a block-by-block basis and accumulated over a slice. A high-frequency-range activity of the transform coefficients is calculated on a block-and-block basis and accumulated over the slice. Selection is made between a block quantization step which is calculated from the total-frequency-range activity of a block and a slice quantization step which is calculated adaptively from the total-frequency-range activity accumulation value of the slice. A quantization step to be used in actual quantization is determined by using the sum of the selected quantization step and a difference quantization step.
