摘要

An image transforming section subjects image data to compression processing. A quantizing section quantizes the transformed data using a quantization width. A variable-length coding section subjects the quantized data to variable-length coding. A code-amount computing section determines a total code amount by accumulating partial code amounts. A control section performs control based on the code amount. An estimating method selecting section adaptively selects a quantization width estimating method. A coded result storage section stores data of a code amount corresponding to the quantization width. First and second quantization width estimating sections have different quantization width estimating methods. <IMAGE>
