Abstract
An image encoding apparatus is provided which realizes an encoding process at a high bit rate without degradation in image quality at boundary parts within a picture. The image encoding apparatusincludes: a plurality of entropy encoding sectionsandfor generating bit streams by entropy-encoding intermediate data generated from syntax elements of image data; and an encoding control sectionfor supplying the intermediate data to any of the entropy encoding sections. The encoding control sectiondetermines the entropy encoding section that performs an entropy encoding process by a frame in accordance with the processing status of each of the entropy encoding sections.
