摘要:
A digital data reproducing apparatus and method which allows reproduction for a long period of time without deterioration in picture quality. Data are reproduced from an optical disk by a pickup and are transferred to and stored in a ring buffer memory. Data read from the ring buffer memory are transferred to and stored into a video code buffer of an encoder section. The data stored in the video code buffer are encoded in the encoder section and displayed on a display. A track jump judging circuit produces a track jumping instruction to cause the pickup to track jump back to a preceding track when the amount of data stored in the ring buffer memory reaches a predetermined value.

A ROM containing a variable length coding table for a 2 picture element range is provided. A motion vector within the range of 2 picture elements is provided to the ROM to produce a VLC code corresponding to the motion vector within the range of 2 picture elements. In a calculation circuit, assuming that the value of a motion vector within the range of 4 picture elements is X, a quotient Y and a remainder Z are obtained by the division of X by 2. The quotient Y is supplied to the ROM and the output of the ROM is added the remainder Z at an addition circuit to obtain a VLC code corresponding to the motion vector lying within the range of 4 picture elements. This is equivalent to variable length coding for a 4 picture element range. By transmitting a flag indicating whether the motion vector range is 2 picture elements or 4 picture elements, the motion vector is correctly reproduced from the VLC code. Accordingly motion vectors within the ranges of 2 picture elements and 4 picture elements can be coded using a single ROM table so that the hardware requirements are reduced.

Coded moving picture data is recorded in groups of frames, each frame representing a video image frame and each group being formed of intraframe, interframe and interpolated frame coded data signals. Typically, at least one interpolated frame coded data is derived, in part, from a video image frame that is represented in a preceding group of frames. If a recorded group of frames is edited, said at least one interpolated frame coded data in the edited group of frames no longer is related to the preceding group of frames on the record medium and, similarly, the interpolated frame coded data in the group of frames that immediately follows the edited group of frames no longer is related to the recorded group of frames which precedes it. Accordingly, an edit flag is set in the edited group of frames and/or in the immediately following group of frames to apprise decoding circuitry not to decode the said at least one interpolated frame coded data.

Image data is recorded in successive turns on a rotatable record medium driven at substantially constant linear velocity by converting a first of successive image frames of image data to an intraframe code signal, converting the (n-1) next-following frames to (n-1) interframe code signals, and recording the intraframe and (n-1 ) interframe code signals on the record medium. In one embodiment, n is the maximum number of image frames that can be recorded in the innermost turn of the record medium and n is constant for all turns, whereby the same number (n--1 ) of interframe code signals separate successive intraframe code signals from turn to turn. In another embodiment, n is a variable and increases as the radius of the turn in which the code signals are recorded increases, whereby a larger number (n-1) of interframe code signals separate successive intraframe code signals as the turn radius increases. The recorded image data is recovered by reproducing the recorded intraframe and interframe code signals and selectively coupling the reproduced code signals to an intraframe decoder or to an interframe decoder as a function of whether intraframe or interframe code signals are reproduced.
摘要:
A method of encoding a video signal into highly efficiently encoded data comprises the steps of: digitizing and blocking the video signal; performing a discrete cosine or Fourier transform on the blocked data; controlling the amount of data in each block to be substantially constant according to an amount of encoded data awaiting transmission; calculating a threshold amplitude; and selecting data larger in amplitude than the threshold amplitude as encoded data for transmission.
摘要:
Intraframe coding and interframe coding are selectively employed for generating a compressed digital video frame in order to record a motion video signal on a small capacity recording medium such as a CD ROM. Motion compensation is also employed for effective compression, and motion compensation in only one direction is applied to an area of the frame in which interframe coding is applied that corresponds to an area of a previous frame in which the intraframe coding was applied.
