Abstract:
An encoding apparatus, comprising a detecting unit configured to detect a feature of an image of each block configuring a still image of an image to be encoded, a setting unit configured to set an image quality mode for encoding the image to be encoded, a deciding unit configured to, for each block, decide a quantization parameter based on the detected feature and the image quality mode, a generating unit configured to, for each block, generate a difference image by performing an intra-prediction, a transformation unit configured to generate transform coefficients by performing an orthogonal transformation on the difference image, and an encoding unit configured to encode the image to be encoded and including a quantizing unit configured to quantize the transform coefficients by using the decided quantization parameter.

Claim (Index 7):
The encoding apparatus according to  claim 2 , wherein the deciding unit decides the quantization parameter by using an intermediate stage among the plurality of stages as a reference, making the quantization parameter larger than the quantization parameter used for the intermediate complexity the larger the complexity becomes, and making the quantization parameter smaller than the quantization parameter value used for the intermediate complexity the smaller the complexity becomes.
