An image coding apparatus which improves the picture quality of an image. A quantization index arithmetic operation section calculates, based on motion vector residuals of macro block and the sum total of the motion vector residual outputted from a motion vector residual buffer section, a weighted average of the motion vector residual. The quantization index arithmetic operation section calculates, based on the value of activity of the macro block and the sum total of the activity outputted from an activity buffer section, a weighted average of the activity. The quantization index arithmetic operation section calculates a quantization index based on the weighted average of the vector residual or the weighted average of the activity.
