Abstract
In order to implement image encoding appropriately, an image encoding method includes: a detection step of detecting that data having a predetermined value exists within a data group (an encoded image) configured of a series of data strings; a transformation step of transforming the predetermined value that exists within the data group into another value; and a situating step of situating the data having the predetermined value at a desired position within the data group.
