A method, apparatus and computer program product is configured to perform entropy coding of quantized transform coefficients when for some reason no pixels are available for prediction. Different variable length code tables are used for when pixel value predictions are available, or not. If not available, a fixed value is inserted in a block of pixels which is used as the prediction block for deriving the residual block, which in turn are transformed and quantized. A special variable length code table is then used to represent low frequency coefficients of the quantized transform coefficients. |
