Abstract

Multiplications in an inverse quantization portion (202) are limited to only multiplications of an effective coefficient (NZ) by a quantization coefficient (Qi) corresponding thereto. An inverse zigzag transform is performed such that fixed values '0', the number of which corresponds to a block of Huffman codes, are previously arranged and the effective coefficient (NZ) is then overwritten in corresponding positions, rather than arranging data including the fixed values '0' and the effective coefficient (NZ). Thus, multiplications of ineffective coefficients are not required and the Huffman codes are decoded at a high speed.
