<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To generate an image having many regions of a specific storage color, or coded data, where the deterioration of color reproduction cannot easily stand out in a partial region. <P>SOLUTION: A storage color pixel detection section 300 detects a pixel having a specific storage color in an input image. A storage color ratio calculation section 301 calculates the occupancy ratio of a storage color pixel for each block (tile, precinct). A control section 302 performs control for weakening quantization to a color difference component for a block, whose storage color pixel ratio exceeds a prescribed value as compared with a block whose storage color ratio does not exceed a prescribed one. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI</p> |
