ENCODING APPARATUS, ENCODING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
First Claim
1. An encoding apparatus comprising:
- an acquiring unit configured to acquire an index value of a noise amount by analyzing at least a part of an optical black area that is included in raw data;
a quantizing unit configured to quantize the raw data based on the index value; and
an encoding unit configured to encode the quantized raw data,wherein if the index value is a first value, the quantizing unit quantizes the raw data with a first quantization step, and if the index value is a second value corresponding to a larger noise amount than a noise amount in a case where the index value is the first value, the quantizing unit quantizes the raw data with a second quantization step that is larger than the first quantization step.

Abstract
There is provided an encoding apparatus. An acquiring unit acquires an index value of a noise amount by analyzing at least a part of an optical black area that is included in raw data. A quantizing unit quantizes the raw data based on the index value. An encoding unit encodes the quantized raw data. If the index value is a first value, the quantizing unit quantizes the raw data with a first quantization step. If the index value is a second value corresponding to a larger noise amount than a noise amount in a case where the index value is the first value, the quantizing unit quantizes the raw data with a second quantization step that is larger than the first quantization step.

16. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium which stores a program for causing a computer to execute an encoding method comprising:
-
acquiring an index value of a noise amount by analyzing at least a part of an optical black area that is included in raw data; quantizing the raw data based on the index value; and encoding the quantized raw data, wherein if the index value is a first value, the raw data is quantized with a first quantization step in the quantizing, and if the index value is a second value corresponding to a larger noise amount than a noise amount in a case where the index value is the first value, the raw data is quantized with a second quantization step that is larger than the first quantization step in the quantizing.
