Abstract
A system and method for masking adaptive quantization during compressed image data transmission by defining a scaling factor for the quantization tables of the multiple image components, wherein the scaling factor signals changes in quantization for successive blocks of the image data. The scaling factor is transmitted as a further component together with the image components to thereby signal adaptive quantization of the image data.
