Encoding and decoding a video image having a plurality of frames using a two-step quantization and coding process are disclosed. A block of a frame are encoded by identifying pixels having certain spatial characteristics, forming a second block from the block while replacing the identified pixels with a single pixel value, such as an average of the remaining original pixels. The second block is encoded, such as by transformation and quantization, and placed into a bitstream. The second block is decoded and subtracted from the original block to generate a difference block. The difference block is encoded, such as by quantization, and is placed in the bitstream. At a decoder, both blocks are decoded and combined to reconstruct the original block. |
