摘要:
A compression-coded high definition television signal is decoded and converted to a standard NTSC signal without loss of interlacing so that the resulting picture exhibits smooth motion. The compression-coding of the HDTV signal includes DCT processing to produce an 8.times.8 block of coefficient data. Upon decoding, the upper left quadrant of the coefficient data array is used to form a 4.times.4 subblock of coefficient data but the last row of elements of the subblock is replaced by corresponding elements of the eighth row of the 8.times.8 block of coefficient data.

Reproducing an input image of reduced resolution with respect to the vertical and horizontal directions in high picture quality by processing a coded bit stream of normal resolution. A difference signal (mismatching error signal) representing the difference between a predicted image of the normal resolution and a predicted image of a half resolution with respect to the vertical and horizontal directions is coded and the coded difference signal is transmitted. When producing the predicted image, image data is subjected to motion compensation according to a specified prediction mode.

Recording unit is operative so that, in the case of carrying out high speed reproduction, switch is switched by high speed reproduction control signal inputted from the external, and a signal read out from the recording unit is inputted to VLD and formatter. High speed reproduction control signal is inputted to recording unit, switch and counter. Recording unit reproduces and outputs predetermined data in accordance with high speed reproduction control signal. At VLD, variable length encoding of MPEG is released, and syntax analysis is carried out. Counter counts the number of frames to be transmitted. Moreover, counter outputs temporal.sub.-- reference in accordance with reproduction speed indicated by high speed reproduction control signal. Header converter rewrites temporal.sub.-- reference in picture header in accordance with temporal.sub.-- reference outputted from counter. From facts as described above, high speed reproduction of moving picture can be made.

According to the present invention, when an ATV signal is recorded by a digital VCR in the conventional television signal record mode, variable speed reproduction data composed of HP data containing I frame is redundantly recorded in a surplus record area that is formed by the difference between the transmission rate of the ATV signal and the transmission rate of the conventional compressed digital video signal. When variable speed reproduction is performed, the variable speed reproduction data is reproduced.

A picture series is encoded so that a first type of decoder having only one frame memory and incapable of bi-directional decoding can decode the encoded bitstream, and a second type of decoder having multiple frame memories and capable of bi-directional decoding can decode the encoded bitstream to produce a higher quality decoded picture series. The encoded bitstream comprises three parallel channels of encoded picture data. The first channel includes every other picture and header information common to the second and third channels. The second channel includes the pictures not represented in the first channel and encoded by one of forward and backward predictive coding. The third channel includes the pictures not represented in the first channel and encoded by bi-directional predictive coding. The first type of decoder uses the first and second channels, while the second type of decoder uses the first and third channels.

Only monitor side is caused to have decoding unit portion for bit stream, and reading unit portion for bit stream, decoding unit portion for bit stream and recording unit portion for bit stream are linked by digital network. Reproducing unit is caused to have a function to reproduce bit stream as it is, and recording unit is caused to have a function to record bit stream as it is. Bit stream reproducing unit and bit stream decoding unit of the monitor side, and such reproducing unit and bit stream recording unit are linked by high speed digital network. Thus, in the case where there is constructed a moving picture reproducing system such that a plurality of moving picture reproducing units are connected to one moving picture display unit to utilize source desired to see by selection of switch, cost can be reduced and degradation of the picture quality can be prevented.
摘要:
In an encoder, an input picture of a non-interlace structure is sampled by down sampling to form an interlace picture, and the interlace picture is encoded. The encoded data are decoded to form an interlace decoded picture, and the interlace decoded picture is sampled by up sampling and utilized as a predictive picture upon encoding of the non-interlace input picture. In a decoder, a bit stream corresponding to an interlace picture of a low resolution is decoded into an interlace decoded picture. The interlace decoded picture is sampled by up sampling and is utilized as a predictive picture upon decoding of a bit stream corresponding to a non-interlace picture of a high resolution.

A motion picture encoding method and apparatus for adaptively switching filters in accordance with the property of a motion picture and the condition for encoding and to improve the encoding efficiency. A motion picture is encoded a plurality of times, an encoding parameter for encoding is optimized, the property of the motion picture signal is measured, and filtering is performed by using the encoding parameter or the property of the measured motion picture signal and thereby optimizing the filter characteristic only for the final-time encoding so as to practically generate and output an encoding signal (bit stream).
摘要:
A picture type identifier, indicating one of intra-picture coding (an I-picture), forward or backward predictive coding (a P-picture) and bi-directionally predictive coding (a B-picture), is included with a picture signal when the signal is encoded and when the signal is decoded. Each of initial and subsequent encoding and decoding is a function of the included picture type.
摘要:
Encoding parameters of picture and higher layers of importance to a number of applications, and encoding parameters of slice and lower layers of no importance to all applications are converted into auxiliary packets inserted respectively into a V-blanking area and an H-blanking area of a video-data signal output by a history-information-multiplexing apparatus employed in a video-decoding system. On the other hand, a video-encoding system extracts back the auxiliary packets superposed on the V-blanking area and the H-blanking area from an input base-band video signal. As a result, a technique of superposing information on data can be changed in accordance with the importance of the information and required information can be fetched with ease.
