Abstract: an orthogonal transform unit orthogonally transforms prediction residuals in a block of a p�q array of pixels, thereby generating an n�m (n is an integer satisfying n<p, and m is an integer satisfying m<q) array of orthogonal transform coefficients. a quantization unit quantizes the n�m array of the orthogonal transform coefficients using at least a quantization matrix of an n�m array of elements, and thereby generates an n�m array of quantized coefficients.
