Abstract:
An image coding apparatus configured to divide an image into one or more slices each including a plurality of blocks and to code each slice on a block-by-block basis includes a first coding unit configured to code blocks included in a first portion of the slice, and a second coding unit configured to code blocks included in a second portion of the slice, wherein, when the second coding unit codes an initial block in the second portion, the second coding unit codes the initial included in the second portion by referring to a first quantization parameter provided to the slice as an initial value and referred to by the first coding unit when the first coding units codes the initial block in the first portion.

Claim (Index 19):
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program that causes a computer to execute an image coding method which generates a bitstream which is to be decoded by an image decoding method, the image coding method comprising:\n acquiring image data; and coding the image data into the bitstream using quantization parameters, wherein the coding is configured:\n to code a difference value between a slice quantization parameter and a first quantization parameter of a first line in a slice, wherein the difference value is for the first quantization parameter of the first line, wherein the difference value is coded into the bitstream, and wherein the slice quantization parameter is provided to the slice; and \n to code a difference value between an (n\u22121)-th (n is an integer equal to or greater than 2) quantization parameter of a second line in the slice and an n-th quantization parameter of the second line, wherein the difference value is for the n-th quantization parameter of the second line, and wherein the difference value is coded into the bitstream; and \n to code a difference value between the slice quantization parameter and a first quantization parameter of the second line, wherein the difference value is for the first quantization parameter of the second line, and wherein the difference value is coded into the bitstream.
