<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technology of efficiently applying progressive decoding to codes formed in a coding direction and configured in the unit of the image quality and displaying the decoded codes. <P>SOLUTION: For example, in the case of LRCP progression codes in the JPEG 2000, the independence in the unit of layers (in the unit of the image quality) is discriminated from a SPcod parameter of a COD marker of a main header of the code (step 302). When the settings indicate that code termination processing and context probability are reset, the presence of the independence is discriminated and a processing block 304 executes decode processing. Entropy decoding and inverse quantization are carried out independently of each layer (step 311), the context probability is reset by each coding path in the entropy decoding and the inverse quantization is executed by setting a reconstruction parameter to 0. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI</p> |
