An object-based bit rate control method prevents cut-off of video and maintains high quality of video even when a bit rate of a network is seriously lowered. The object is segmented from the image, and significance is imposed on macro blocks included in the segmented object. When the bit rate of the network is lowered, the macro block having high significance is normally encoded and transmitted, and the macro block having low significance is not encoded. <IMAGE> |
