The present invention relates to methods for watermark-embedding/extracting identification information into/from picture data and apparatuses thereof. When identification information is watermark-embedded, the following steps are performed. Combinations of basis functions orthogonal each other are generated in association with each numerical signal. For each combination of the orthogonal basis functions, a weight coefficient is calculated so as to correspond to the combination of the basis functions by calculating a sum of products of values of the basis functions for pixels in the original picture data and pixel values of the pixels. For each numerical signal, a watermark-embedding function is referred, a input value is specified, and a pixel value is changed. When the identification information is extracted from the picture data, for each weight coefficient, the watermark-embedding function is referred, and the value of the watermark-embedding function is calculated for each weight coefficient.

Video coding apparatus and decoding apparatus capable of reproducing decoded pictures without introducing unwanted noises, even if any considerable difference in pixel values or discontinuity exists at a certain block boundary. In a video coding apparatus employing predictive techniques, a dequantizer and an inverse DCT processor reproduce a prediction error signal from quantized transform coefficients. Here, a first resolution conversion unit (or downsampling unit) might have subsampled the original prediction error signal to reduce its picture resolution. If this is the case, a second resolution conversion unit (or upsampling unit) attempts to restore the original resolution of the prediction error signal by applying an upsampling process to the reproduced prediction error signal having the reduced resolution. In this upsampling process, each new pixel value in a certain block are calculated with reference to some surrounding pixels. The upsampling process, however, will not refer to the pixels belonging to any adjacent blocks that are subject to another coding scheme which is different from the coding scheme of the present block of interest. As an alternate arrangement, the upsampling process will entirely neglect the pixels in any other blocks but will refer only to the present block.

An 8-point inverse discrete cosine transform (IDCT) is decomposed into four 2-point IDCTs. The four 2-point IDCTs are implemented by four parallel-operating product-sum computing circuits. Each product-sum computing circuit comprises a single multiplying means and accomplishes computation of eight points in four clock cycles. Part of the multiplying means may be implemented by bit shift operation, and others by a semifixed multiplier. A two-dimensional 8.times.8 IDCT circuit is constructed which comprises three semifixed multipliers and one ordinary multiplier, and accomplishes IDCT computation of 8.times.8 points in 64 clock cycles.

A scene change detecting device of a relatively small circuit scale is capable of accurately detecting a scene change using data which have already been compressed and coded. The scene change detecting device has an extracting circuit for extracting frame type information, frame identification information, and block type information from a coded signal of a moving picture which has been processed by block-adaptive interframe predictive coding. The block type information is sent to a counter, and the frame type information and the frame identification information are sent to a frame estimating circuit. Based on the block type information, the counter counts macroblocks with respect to each of the types of predictive processes over one frame. The frame estimating circuit estimates a frame immediately following a scene change based on the counted number of macroblocks with respect to each of the types of predictive processes, the frame type information, and the frame identification information.

A method includes extracting a first vector used to code a specific block belonging to a coded field picture arranged chronologically adjacent to a field picture to be coded and to a block to be coded, generating a second vector by scaling the first vector based on a temporal distance between the field picture and a second picture specified by a reference index and referenced for the block and included in the field picture and a temporal distance between a first picture pointed by the first vector and the coded field picture arranged chronologically adjacent to the field picture, and correcting the second vector based on a parity of the field picture, a parity of the first picture, a parity of the second picture and a parity of the coded field picture and forming the corrected second vector.

In a video coding apparatus, a plurality of coding units perform compression coding of a single source stream of video data. A control unit controls those coding units in such a way that all the coding units produce respective interframe coded pictures with identical playback times as a first-coded picture in a picture group (e.g., GOP) and produce identical local decoded pictures based on the respective intraframe coded pictures. A selection decision unit makes a selection, for each picture group, of one of the coded video data from the coding units on the basis of their coding results. According to this selection, a selection unit selectively outputs one of the coded video data. This output switching operation is performed at a point immediately before a forward interframe predictive coded picture that appears first of those in a picture group included in each of the coded video data outputs being switched.
