<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an encoding apparatus which performs more efficient encoding processing. <P>SOLUTION: An image processing apparatus 2 puts symbols generated by a source coder together to obtain a block consisting of a predetermined number of symbols, and assigns a codeword to each block. Specifically, as illustrated in Fig. 1(B), each block has one code, but in terms of symbols, multiple symbols are encoded into one code. Consequently, branching processing or a feedback loop resulting from processing of variable-length codes is not generated by a symbol unit and improvement in processing speed can be expected. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT</p> |
