Abstract

A moving image encoding apparatus, comprising, a first image transformation unit adapted to transform image data into first image information, with reference to reference image data, a second image transformation unit adapted to inverse transform the first image information into reconstructed image data and a determination unit adapted to determine, based on the image data and the reconstructed image data, whether or not to use the reconstructed image data as the reference image data, wherein the determination unit calculates a peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) from the reconstructed image data and the image data, and, if the PSNR is greater than or equal to a predetermined threshold, determines to use the reconstructed image data as the reference image data.
