Abstract
There is provided an encoding apparatus. An acquiring unit acquires an index value of a noise amount by analyzing at least a part of an optical black area that is included in raw data. A quantizing unit quantizes the raw data based on the index value. An encoding unit encodes the quantized raw data. If the index value is a first value, the quantizing unit quantizes the raw data with a first quantization step. If the index value is a second value corresponding to a larger noise amount than a noise amount in a case where the index value is the first value, the quantizing unit quantizes the raw data with a second quantization step that is larger than the first quantization step.
