摘要:
An image signal encoding method and apparatus is provided. An input image signal is coded to produce coded picture signals. Specifically, the coded picture signals include a group-of-pictures consisting of predictive coded pictures and bi-directionally predictive coded pictures. For at least some of the predictive coded pictures of the group-of-pictures, slices are designated which consist entirely of intra-coded macroblocks. An indication of the slices designated is provided in the coded picture signals.

A method for encoding a 10-bit based picture using a circuitry or devices inherently designed for handing an 8-bit based picture. The 10-bit based input picture data is motion-compensated with 8 bits in a motion compensation circuit. From the motion-compensated picture data, representative value data and the quantization width are found by an in-bloc representative value calculation circuit and a block quantization width calculation circuit, respectively. A difference between the picture data and the representative value data is found by an adder. The difference is sent to a block quantizer where first 8-bit quantized data is generated on the basis of the quantization width so that the representative value is at a mid point of the quantization width. The first quantized data is transformed by a discrete cosine transform circuit of a difference signal encoder to generate transform coefficients which are quantized by a quantizer to generate second quantized data. A variable length encoding circuit encodes the representative value data, quantization width and the second quantized data. The 10-bit based picture can be encoded by the circuitry or the devices designed for an 8-bit based picture without substantially deteriorating the picture quality.

An encoding apparatus and an encoding method, a decoding apparatus and a decoding method, a recording medium, and a program suitable for encoding image signals with a higher compression ratio for transmission or accumulation. In an arithmetic coding section, from among the syntax elements of input image compression information, the frame/field flag is first encoded by a frame/field flag context model. When the macroblock to be processed is subjected to frame-based encoding, a frame-based context model, specified in the current H.26L standard, is applied. On the other hand, when the macroblock to be processed is subjected to field-based encoding, a field-based context model is applied for the syntax elements described below. The present invention is applied to an encoder for encoding image information and a decoder for decoding image information.

An image decoding method includes decoding encoded image data to generate a decoded image signal including a luma signal and a chroma signal. The method further includes scaling, when a reference field is a bottom field while a current field is a top field for motion estimation and when the decoded image signal is in a format in which the number of chroma pixels is vertically different from the number of luma pixels, a chroma motion vector of the chroma signal by mv/2−¼, where mv is a vertical component in a luma motion vector of the luma signal. The method also includes performing motion compensation of the decoded image signal using the scaled chroma motion vector.
