Abstract

See full text

An apparatus is provided for quantizing data obtained by transforming image data to a frequency zone so as to encode it. The speed at which such an apparatus performs processing is increased. Data is quantized on the basis of a plurality of coefficients C.sub.1 for controlling a quantizing step. As a result of the quantization, reference encoding data items Nb1 to Nb4 are obtained. Coefficients C.sub.5 to C.sub.7 for controlling the quantizing step are generated when image data which is delayed by one frame is quantized. At this time, the data items Nb1 to Nb 4 are output by bit-shifting the result of the quantization.
