1. An image processing apparatus comprising:
- a) input means for inputting image date of plural objects;
b) encoding means for encoding the image data inputted by said input means on an object basis; and
c) control means for setting a priority order of code amount allocation for each of the objects and in accordance with said priority order, controlling encoding conditions for each of the objects in said encoding means, wherein said control means controls the encoding conditions in said encoding means so that a total code amount obtained by encoding the image data of said plural objects does not exceed a predetermined code amount.

Abstract
Image data of plural objects are inputted, the inputted image data are encoded on an object basis, a priority order of code amount allocation is set for the objects, and encoding conditions for the objects in the encoding step are controlled in accordance with the priority order. The encoding conditions are controlled so that a total code amount obtained by encoding the image data of the plural objects does not exceed a predetermined code amount.

11. An image processing method comprising the steps of:
-
a) inputting image data of plural objects;
b) encoding the inputted image data on an object basis; and
c) setting a priority order of code amount allocation for each of the objects and, in accordance with said priority order, controlling encoding conditions for each of the objects in said encoding step, wherein, in said controlling step, the encoding conditions in said encoding step are controlled so that a total code amount obtained by encoding the image data of said plural objects does not exceed a predetermined code amount.

12. A storage medium for storing program codes of encoding steps, said encoding steps comprising:
-
a) an inputting step of inputting image data of plural objects;
b) an encoding step of encoding the inputted image data on an object basis; and
c) a controlling step of setting a priority order of code amount allocation for each of the objects and, in accordance with said priority order, controlling encoding conditions for each of the objects in said encoding step, wherein, in said controlling step, the encoding conditions in said encoding step are controlled so that a total code amount obtained by encoding the image data of said plural objects does not exceed a predetermined code amount.
