    摘要: A moving picture coding apparatus for performing inter-picture predictive coding on pictures constituting a moving picture is provided with a coding unit for performing predictive error coding on image data; a decoding unit for performing predictive error decoding on an output from the coding unit; a reference picture memory for holding output data from the decoding unit; and a motion vector detection unit for detecting forward and backward motion vectors on the basis of decoded image data stored in the memory. When coding a B picture, a picture that is timewise closest to the target picture is used as a candidate picture for forward reference, and an I or P picture that is timewise closest to the target picture is used as a candidate picture for backward reference. The moving picture coding apparatus so constructed can improve coding efficiency of a B picture to be subjected to bidirectional predictive coding.

A full-pel prediction step derives a coding cost of each coding mode, based on motion estimation with integer pixel accuracy for small blocks, which are obtained with division methods of each coding mode. A candidate division method selecting step selects a subset of candidate division methods of a plurality of coding modes, based on the coding costs derived by the full-pel prediction). A sub-pel prediction step derives a coding cost of each candidate division method, based on motion estimation with non-integer pixel accuracy for the small blocks obtained with a subset of the subset of candidate division methods. A division method determining step determines a division method of the image block, based on the coding costs derived by the sub-pel prediction.

    摘要: A motion vector coding method and apparatus that improves efficiency of coding motion vectors when a current block is coded using a plurality of motion vectors. The apparatus includes a motion vector coding unit that codes a motion vector inputted from a motion vector detecting unit. A motion vector for each current block is coded based on a difference between the motion vector and a predicted vector obtained from motion vectors for previously coded neighboring blocks. The predicted vector is generated by one of the following processes: (A) the motion vectors which refer to the same picture are selected from among the motion vectors for the neighboring blocks so as to generate the predicted vector; (B) the motion vectors for the respective neighboring blocks are ordered in the predetermined order, and the motion vectors of the same order rank are selected from the ordered motion vectors so as to generate the predicted vector; and (C) the predicted vector for the second motion vector of the current block shall be the first motion vector, and if the second motion vector and the first motion vector refer to different pictures, the first motion vector is scaled according to the temporal distance between the pictures so as to generate the predicted vector.
