Image encoding/decoding apparatus
First Claim
1. An image encoding apparatus comprising:
- a) input means for inputting an image signal;
b) dividing means for dividing the image signal input by said input means into signal groups of a plurality of frequency bands;
c) encoding means for encoding the plurality of signal groups divided by said dividing means; and
d) adding means for adding error correction check codes weighted in accordance with the frequency band to the image signal encoded by said encoding means.

Abstract
An image encoding/decoding apparatus in which on the transmission side, image information is divided into at least two or more signal groups by a frequency band, the plurality of signal groups are individually high efficiency encoded, an error correction code is added to each of the plurality of encoded signal groups. The resultant signal groups are then multiplexed and transmitted. On the reception side, the transmitted multiplexed signal is divided into the signal groups for every frequency band divided on the transmission side, the error correction and the decoding of the high efficient encoded data are executed for every signal group, and the plurality of signal groups after decoding are frequency band synthesized, thereby reproducing the image information. At least two kinds of error correction codes of different error correcting abilities are used as error correction codes which are added to the plurality of signal groups on the transmission side.
