<p>The invention relates to a quantization process in an encoding by transformation for transmission on a low rate link of an image signal, said image signal being processed in the form of blocks, each containing a set of digital data, each block being transformed to produce a transformed block of coefficients (Ci) representing the frequency components of the block, each transformed coefficients of a block being quantified during a scan by comparison with quantization levels, the first being called the threshold, the process being characterized in that the quantization is performed with a threshold (T) able to vary between one transfored coefficient (Ci) and the next (Ci+1) in the scan, depending on whether the transformed coefficient does or does not fulfil the conditions -T<Ci<+T.</p> |
