<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To generate encoded data without noticeable image quality degradation when reproducing an image at the original resolution or a lower resolution. <P>SOLUTION: In an image encoding apparatus, when setting is done to transmit an image captured by a digital camera to a network, code forming information CF is set to "2" to arrange the encoded data of each tile in a resolution order. At the time, to suppress image quality degradation when reproducing at an intermediate resolution, stream conversion information SC is set to "2" (S2905). When encoding image data in compression processing, block overlap processing of suppressing discontinuity of data at the boundary between adjacent blocks is executed as many times as the count set in the stream conversion information (S2906). The obtained encoded data are arranged in accordance with the code forming information CF and outputted (S2909). <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT</p> |
