The differential coding apparatus comprises a delay unit for storing an adjacent value, a transmission value conversion unit for assigning a transmission value to a value of difference between the value to be coded and the adjacent value in the ascending order of the absolute value of the difference value, and a variable-length coding device for assigning a code in the order that the code is increasing in code length as the transmission value increases in number. In the range in which positive and negative difference values exist, positive and negative numbers are alternately given to difference values in the order in which the difference value is increasing in distance from a center difference value of 0. In the range in which either positive or negative difference value exists, serial numbers are successively given to difference values in the order in which the difference value is increasing in distance from the difference value of 0. Then codes are assigned in the order of their increasing in code length to the difference values in the order of the given numbers of transmission values.

Before transmission of moving image data, the period of a frame of the moving image data is counted using a clock signal used for the transmission to produce a frame count. The moving image data is then transmitted along with the frame count so that it can correctly be timed in frames at receiver.

An encoding and decoding apparatus for a video signal and a high-definition television signal is disclosed. For the picture A having the horizontal to vertical screen frame ratio of 4:3, the picture B having the horizontal to vertical screen frame ratio of 16:9 and the picture C having the horizontal to vertical screen frame ratio of 16:9 and having a larger number of vertical pixels than that of the picture A and picture B, the apparatus limits the band of the picture C to obtain the picture D having the same numbers of horizontal and vertical pixels respectively as those of the picture B, and high-efficiency encodes the picture A, picture B or picture D in the same method. The apparatus obtains the additional picture E which is a difference between the picture D and the picture C, or a difference between the picture D' which is a result of decoding a signal that has been obtained by high-efficiency encoding the picture D and the picture C, and then high-efficiency encodes the additional picture E obtained.

A data round-off device receives a digital input signal of m-bit form (m is an integer) which has arithmetically been processed by addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division by an orthogonal transformer or predictive encoder is summed, if it is positive, with a value of 2.sup.(n-1) -1 (n is a natural number smaller than m) and if negative, with a value of 2.sup.(n-1) and the higher (m-n) bits of a resultant sum signal are delivered as the output of the data round-off device. Preferably, it is used for control of the number of bits if there is a difference in the number of bits between the data output of an orthogonal transformer and the data input of an encoder for encoding the data output of the orthogonal transformer.

A picture coding apparatus includes a static area information calculating unit that calculates static area information indicating a size of a static area of which motion is smaller than a predetermined value for each of fields included in an interlaced picture, a reference field selecting unit that selects, as a reference field to be used to predict a field to be coded, one of a field having of the same parity as a field to be coded and a field having the opposite parity of the field to be coded, among fields previously coded, based on the static area information of the fields previously coded, and a coding unit that codes the field to be coded by using the reference field selected by the reference field selecting unit.

A link information generation apparatus records a link information file on a recording medium on which a first folder holding a still picture file that includes still picture data and still picture imaging time information and a second folder holding one or more moving picture files each of which includes moving picture data are recorded at positions that are not in a containment relationship with each other. The link information generation apparatus includes: a moving picture specification unit (1131) that specifies a still-picture-linked moving picture imaged during a time period including a time shown by the still picture imaging time information of the still picture data; a position information obtainment unit (1132) that obtains still-picture-corresponding position information showing a position in the still-picture-linked moving picture corresponding to the still picture imaging time information; and a link information generation unit (1133) that generates link information including still picture identification information for identifying the still picture data, moving picture identification information for identifying the still-picture-linked moving picture, and the still-picture-corresponding position information, and records the link information file including the link information on the recording medium at a position not contained in any of the first and second folders.

Stereoscopic imaging device that can take stereo images with the parallax between the left and right eyes being accurately established is afforded. The stereoscopic imaging device (11) includes: an optical branching device having an incident surface (35), a beam-splitter part (33) that splits light from the incident surface into two directions, an extension part (36), and a reflection part (38) that reflects at least a portion of the light bent by the beam splitter part (33) and bends the reflected light in the y-axis positive direction; a first camera (31) that takes left-eye images; and a second camera (32) that takes right-eye images. The respective optical axes of the optical system of the first camera (31) and of the optical system of the second camera (32) are parallel to the y-axis.
