<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a coding apparatus for coding at a higher speed. <P>SOLUTION: A parameter generating section 105 generates parameters indicating the features of each code block on the basis of information supplied from a code block forming section 103 and a bit plane developing section 104. A grouping section 106 divides code blocks in which the parameters are all the same into groups including 16 blocks at most. A parallel operation coefficient data generating section 107 rearranges coefficient data of each code block per group. An EBCOT 108 executes coding for a plurality of code blocks in parallel. An encoded code stream generating section 109 rearranges the encoded data and outputs the rearranged data as one code stream. This apparatus is applicable to, for example, an image coding apparatus. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT</p> |
