Abstract
The present invention is an apparatus that includes a processor and a memory coupled to the processor. The memory contains instruction executed by the processor to transform an image to provide a transformed image, quantize the transformed image to provide a quantized image, and process the quantized image to iteratively generate one or more step sizes. The processor is adapted to transmit the one or more step sizes to an image decoder.
