1. A method for masking adaptive quantization during compressed image data transmission in a system for transmitting blocks of data representing multiple components of an image, comprising the steps of:
- generating a quantization table for each of the multiple image components;
defining a common scaling factor for a portion of said quantization tables of the multiple image components; and
signaling changes in quantization for successive blocks of the image data by transmitting said common scaling factor as a further component together with the image components to thereby signal adaptive quantization of the image data.

Abstract
A system and method for masking adaptive quantization during compressed image data transmission by defining a scaling factor for the quantization tables of the multiple image components, wherein the scaling factor signals changes in quantization for successive blocks of the image data. The scaling factor is transmitted as a further component together with the image components to thereby signal adaptive quantization of the image data.
