<p>The present invention provides an image encoding device and an image decoding device. An image encoding device comprises: a predictive encoding unit for subjecting input images to predictive encoding and thereby producing residue images; a transformation unit for transforming the residue images into transformation block units and thereby producing transformation coefficient values; a quantization unit for the quantization of the transformation coefficient values of the transformation blocks; and an entropy encoding unit for determining the scanning sequence on the basis of significance in each position of the transformation blocks and scanning the quantized transformation coefficient values of the transformation blocks in the determined scanning sequence and thereby generating the transformation coefficient values of one-dimensional arrays and effecting entropy encoding of the transformation coefficient values of the one-dimensional arrays.</p>
