Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce the arithmetic amount required to calculate a motion vector by using a different evaluation function depending on the size of the grid of the retrieval area of each layer to calculate an evaluation value with respect to a notice picture element thereby detecting the motion vector. SOLUTION: A control section 2 outputs an image mode signal, a prediction mode signal, a motion vector and various control signals to control the entire system. In the case of detecting the motion vector, the control section 2 uses an evaluation function using search points of a different number depending on the size of the grid of the retrieval area of each layer in the n-step search to detect a motion. In details, wen the grid is fine, the evaluation function at sufficiently many numbers of search points is used and when the grid is rough, the evaluation function at a few numbers of search points is used to detect a motion, then the arithmetic amount required for motion detection is reduced in the n-step search.

Abstract:
PURPOSE:To prevent the picture quality on a part with high frequency component from being deteriorated by detecting the picture edge part with the calculation of the activity of the picture information and performing DCT processing after smoothing the entire part while reducing the amplitude on this part. CONSTITUTION:A picture memory 1 stores the picture data to be encoded, the data is successively read out to be divided into 8X8 picture element blocks in a preprocessing part 2 and made into DCT in a DCT part 3. A quantization part 4 quantizes the blocks which are made into DCT by a quantization table 41, transfers the quantization data to an encoding part 5, encodes the frequency component of the quantization data and block terminal position information. In the preprocessing part 2, an activity detection part 22 detects the rise and fall of the activity. A classification part 23 separates the edge, part by the rise and fall of the activity. In an average value calculation part 24, an average value between the points with high and low activities is obtained to calculate the center of the amplitude. In an amplitude compression part 25, the amplitude is compressed to the center of this amplitude, smoothing the entire part.

Abstract:
PURPOSE:To secure countermeasure even to the sudden change of a video input signal and also to obtain a stable reference signal to a video input signal, by providing an independent A/D converter to supply an output of this converter to an A/D converter for video signals in the form of a reference voltage after controlling properly said output in response to the video signal. CONSTITUTION:The video signal sent from a video amplifier circuit via signal line DL is supplied to an A/D converter 1 for video signals as well as to an A/D converter 2 for reference level. Both the upper and lower limit reference voltages VRH and VRL set previously at prescribed levels are supplied to the converter 2 from a control part together with a sampling clock phiS of 3.12MHz, for example. Thus the converter 2 compares the VRH with VRL and decides a white level if the video signal is higher than the level VRH to deliver a white digital signal W. While a black level is decided when the video signal is lower than the level VRL. Then a black digital signal is delivered.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To recover an error quickly with respect to a motion area and to suppress a data quantity. SOLUTION: A VRAM 1 stores dynamic data received sequentially in the unit of frames. An area discrimination section 3 divides an image stored in the VRAM 1 into a plurality of blocks and discriminates whether each block belongs to an moving region or a still region. A coding setting section 4 sets a block to apply inframe coding processing to the still and moving regions at a rate of 1:2. An inner processing section 5 applies in-frame coding to the block to which the in-frame coding processing is set. On the other hand, an intra processing section 6 applies in-frame motion compensation coding to blocks to which the in-frame coding processing is not set. Furthermore, the coding setting section 4 shifts a prescribed number of blocks each for each frame for the blocks to which the in-frame coding processing is set.
