Abstract

Disclosed is an image compression coding device in which time domain image data is transformed to frequency domain data and then compressed by multiplying the frequency domain data by quantization coefficients scaled by a scale factor based on a non-linear relationship of log(ACVdata) versus log(SF). One or more statistical passes are made through the frequency domain data using initial scale factors in which ACV data is obtained based on the newly defined relationship. The New Scale Factor (NSF) is then calculated based on the initial scale factors (ISF1, ISF2), the accumulated code volumes for the two scale factors (ACVdata1, ACVdata2), and the target code volume (TCV) of the compressed file.
