The present invention provides a motion vector estimation apparatus which can decrease circuit size by reducing the amount of computations for detecting a motion vector. The motion vector estimation apparatus in the present invention includes a motion vector estimation unit which estimates a motion vector MV0F for the target block BL0 by searching within a reference picture P1 for a block with an image similar to an image in the target block BL0, which is included in a picture B2; a prediction calculation unit and a prediction range control unit which specify a search range in the reference picture P1 based on the motion vector MV0F and; the motion vector estimation unit estimates the motion vector MV1F for the target block BL1 by searching in the search range for a block with an image similar to an image in the target block BL1, which is included in the picture B3.

When inputting moving image data into a personal computer for display or for recording on a recording medium, there often occur cases where processing cannot catch up with the input, resulting in interruption of the processing. Also, when performing conversion from an input digital signal having an arbitrary number of samples to an output digital signal having an arbitrary number of samples, prior art methods entail the possibility that the memory capacity and the amount of computation may become enormous. In view of this, according to the present invention, if the image processing cannot catch up with the input, the data is re-input for processing by utilizing information concerning the recorded position, the recorded time, or the time at which playback is to be performed; this achieves the same effect as processing continuous moving image data without interruption.

The present invention includes methods and apparatus for attaining high speed coding and decoding. A first method decreases the number of memory access times by performing signal format conversion, orthogonal transform and continuous variable-length coding with predetermined small areas in a frame used as units. A second method omits orthogonal transform computation by using orthogonal transform coefficients to shorten the processing time. A third method uses additions and subtractions for orthogonal transform thereby decreasing the number of registers used and reducing the number of memory access times. The present invention further includes a decoding method for variable-length decoding wherein table size is not made larger because the number of table access times per code word is set to a maximum of 2, and plural code words are decoded by one table access operation to attain high-speed decoding.

When a method or apparatus of assuring simultaneous exposure, such as a mechanical shutter, is not provided with a MOS imaging sensor, moving subjects are distorted with a MOS image sensor when capturing a still image of a fast-moving subject because imaging and reading are not simultaneous across the MOS sensor. Changing the MOS sensor exposure sequence and reading sequence, and interpolating the read data, change and correct the read sequence line by line when imaging a high resolution moving image, and thus improve distortion in moving subjects.
