A system is arranged by a service providing apparatus 109 for storing a plurality of contents data 110 and capable of transmitting the contents data via network interfaces 116a/116b and a communication path 112; and also a service relaying apparatus 101 for producing compressed moving picture data having a high image quality from still picture data, and capable of transmitting the compressed moving picture data via network interfaces 115a/115b and another communication path 111 to a reproducing terminal 106. As a result, desirable contents data can be displayed by the reproducing terminal which owns a capability of displaying the compressed moving picture data, but does not own such a capability of displaying the desirable contents data.

A multimedia title including sources of plural data-types such as a motion picture, still picture and text data, presentation methods of respective sources, and the data-types is edited in every frame, so that a video signal is created. Based on a scenario, the video signal is coded adaptively to respective data-types of each source. As a result, calculation volume is reduced and picture quality is improved.
摘要:
A system of detecting a motion vector for an object block in a current frame of an orthogonally transformed video with respect to a stored reference frame. The motion vector is detected by: extracting a predetermined pattern of lower frequency components from the object block; orthogonally inverse transforming the extracted lower frequency components within the pattern to yield the pattern of pixel data; searching the reference frame for a block having a maximum correlation with the pattern of pixel data; and calculating the motion vector from the object block to the block having a maximum correlation. As an orthogonal transform, DCT (discrete cosine transform) is preferable. Creating a row and a column image comprising sums obtained by adding all the pixels in each column and each row of the object block and applying the above searching and calculating process to the row and the column image enables the motion vector detection from a normal or noncompressed video.

Image coding equipment wherein no sense of incongruity occurs when domains whose image quality should be improved are selected. To the domains selected with the domain selection section 111, the gradual coding parameter calculation section 112 computes the quantization values so that the quality of image may improve gradually toward the central part from the outside of the selected domain, and a picture is coded based on the value of such a parameter.

A method for transforming a first data sequence, generated by a first moving picture coding system that switches an intra-frame coding mode and an inter-frame coding mode on a block unit basis to a second data sequence, generated by a second moving picture coding system that switches an intra-frame coding mode and in inter-frame coding mode on the block unit basis. The method includes increasing the number of blocks to be coded by the intra-frame coding mode in the second moving picture coding system when a generated code amount of the second data sequence is less than a target value.
摘要:
The transformation method for moving picture coding system reads data of a frame from the first data sequence in the first moving picture moving coding system, prereads a coding mode of a successive frame to record, and when the preread coding mode of the successive frame is the intra-frame coding mode, performs a control not to perform coding of a present frame or decrease a generated code amount corresponding to the generated coed content of the second data sequence in the second moving picture coding system. Then, the method preferentially transforms data coded by the intra-frame coding mode existing in the first data sequence to the second data sequence.

摘要:
A first data sequence generated by a first moving picture coding system having an intra-frame coding mode and an inter-frame coding mode is transformed to a second data sequence generated by a second moving picture coding system having an intra-frame coding mode and an inter-frame coding mode. The method includes prereading a coding mode of a successive frame succeeding a present frame from the first data sequence, judging whether or not a preread coding mode of the successive frame is the intra-frame coding mode and determining whether or not to code the present frame by the second moving picture coding system corresponding to a generated code amount of the second data sequence when the coding mode of the successive frame is the intra-frame coding mode. Data coded by the intra-frame coding mode existing in the first data sequence is transformed to the second data sequence.
