Abstract
In order to generate zigzag addresses for Discrete Cosine Transformation DCT data arranged in the form of a square matrix, row differentials (.DELTA.y) and column differentials (.DELTA.x) being differentials of row addresses (y) and column addresses (x) are previously stored to be successively read out (steps S12 and S13). The row differentials (.DELTA.y) and the column differentials (.DELTA.x) are added to the row addresses (y) and the column addresses (x) respectively, to newly obtain zigzag addresses (steps S14 and S15). Thus, the amount data to be stored can be reduced. Further, it is possible to further reduce the amount of data to be stored by compressing data through regularity of the row differentials (.DELTA.y) and the column differentials (.DELTA.x).
