Abstract
It is an object of the present invention to provide an image coding technique for suppressing degradation in image quality, in which the time and space where intra macroblocks appear are dispersed. A block count determination part determines the number of intra macroblocks to be allocated in each frame. A position determination part arranges the intra macroblocks at random positions in each frame. A coding part performs coding on the basis of the number of intra macroblocks to be allocated in a time direction, which is determined by the block count determination part, and the arrangement of the intra macroblocks in a spatial direction, which is determined by the position determination part, to thereby output compressed image data.
