<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To adjust the amount of arithmetic resources required for processing encoded information constituted of a plurality of data units each of which is smaller than one image and processed individually, for a much finer unit than a prior art. <P>SOLUTION: An apparatus for adjusting computational complexity is provided with: an arithmetic resource amount measuring section 131 for measuring the amount of arithmetic resources available in an arithmetic device which performs encoding processing or decoding processing on the encoded information with Block as one example of a data unit; the number of a target Blocks determination section which determines the number, smaller than or equal with an upper limit number, of Blocks on which encoding processing or decoding processing can be performed with the measured amount of arithmetic resources, as the number of target Blocks; and the number of Blocks control means which controls the number of Blocks contained in the encoded information to be smaller than or equal with the number of target Blocks. A pixels, coefficient, macro blocks and slice are the other example of the data unit. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT</p> |
