IMAGE CODING APPARATUS AND IMAGE DECODING APPARATUS

摘要

An image coding apparatus ( 100 ) which reduces buffer capacity to a minimum and includes an image coding processing unit ( 110 ) which generates intermediate data by executing a part of a process in the coding on the image data; a packetizing unit ( 120 ) which generates an image stream by executing a process other than the part of the process in the coding on the intermediate data, such as for example arithmetic coding, and packetizes the generated image stream in synchronization with the image stream generation process.
