If the number of frames in a GOP of an input stream is not less than 15, the GOP is determined as a control unit time. If the number of frames in the GOP is less than 15, the following GOP is connected thereto until the number of frames becomes not less than 15 and the connected GOPs are determined as a control unit time. After correcting the control unit time, the average input bit rate Sin each control unit time is obtained, and by using information on the input stream including the average input bit rate S, a quantization step value of an output stream is calculated.

An image forming apparatus includes a photosensitive member, an exposure device, and a developing device. A sensor detects a toner image formed by the developing device to output density information, and a supply device supplies developer to the developing device. In addition, a controller controls the supply device on the basis of a detection result of a supply control toner image formed by the exposure device, a storing portion stores the detection result, and an exchange detecting portion detects information for discriminating exchange of the photosensitive member and the developing device. When the developing device is not exchanged but the photosensitive member is exchanged, the controller executes an operation in a mode in which the controller adjusts an exposure condition for forming the supply control toner image by the exposure device after exchange of the photosensitive member.

Image forming apparatus

In an image coding apparatus (), a Hadamard transform unit () performs horizontal Hadamard transform on a picture of uncompressed image data (). The sum total of absolute values of AC component values obtained by the Hadamard transform is calculated as a Hadamard value () of the picture. A scene change determination unit () determines whether a scene change occurs or not in the picture on the basis of the Hadamard value (). In a case where a scene change occurs in the picture or where a differential absolute value between the amount of generated codes in a coded GOP and the ideal amount of codes in a GOP is larger than a predetermined reference value, a quantization parameter determination unit () determines a quantization parameter () of the picture on the basis of the Hadamard value () and the target amount of codes of the picture. A coding unit () codes the picture by using the determined quantization parameter ().

Image coding apparatus

When a toner image formed on the surface of a photosensitive drum is transferred onto an intermediate transfer belt, a transfer bias is applied to a primary transfer portion. When a patch formed in an upstream image forming station and transferred onto the intermediate transfer belt and a patch formed on the surface of the photosensitive drum pass through the primary transfer portion, a passing bias different from the transfer bias is applied to the primary transfer portion. A control section controls a laser beam scanner as an exposure member not to expose the surface of the photosensitive drum to which the passing bias is applied.

An image forming apparatus includes a photosensitive member, a developing portion to develop an electrostatic image on the photosensitive member, and a sensor to detect a toner image formed by the developing portion to output density information depending on a toner amount per unit area. A controller controls a supply of developer on the basis of a detection result of a supply control toner image. The controller adjusts an exposure condition for forming the supply control toner image by the exposure portion after exchange of the photosensitive member on the basis of first information and second information. The first information is a detection result when a first control toner image, formed before an exchange of the photosensitive member, is detected by the sensor, and the second information is a detection result when a second control toner image, formed after the exchange of the photosensitive member, is detected by the sensor.
