<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To achieve encoding processing appropriately corresponding to eccentricity in the quantity of information within one image constituting a video signal, for example. <P>SOLUTION: A video signal encoding apparatus (10) comprises: a measuring means (104 or the like) for measuring a level of a signal property for the unit of a small region (MB) resulting from dividing an image constituting a video signal; a linking means (104 or the like) for linking, as a large region (Unit), a plurality of small regions based on the measured level of the signal property; a determining means (104 or the like) for determining quantization scale for image encoding processing for the unit of a large region; and an encoding means (105) for performing encoding processing at least on a large region in the image based on the determined quantization scale. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT</p> |
