Abstract

New and improved apparatus and methods for encoding and decoding of a series of digital images. The throughput bit rate of conventional systems varies depending upon the complexity of the images. Applying apparatus and methods described herein, encoding and decoding of a series of digital images may be adjusted in an automated manner to achieve a constant throughput bit rate.
