A method and apparatus to quantize and dequantize an input signal, and a method and apparatus to encode and decode an input signal. The method of quantizing an input signal includes determining a quantization scale type according to a distribution feature of the input signal, and quantizing the input signal according to the determined quantization scale type. Accordingly, when a number of assigned bits is small in an encoding process, signal distortion can be minimized without an increase in complexity or having to use large sized additional information in order to determine an optimum scale. In addition, the input signal can be encoded by considering a trade-off of a distortion rate corresponding to the number of assigned bits of the input signal. |
