There are provided a device and a method capable of increasing the processing speed and preventing the increase of the device size by eliminating decompression/decoding processing not required for decompression/decoding of a moving picture of a point-of-view desired by a user. The decompression/decoding device includes: instruction input means for receiving an instruction for a frame to be outputted; judgment means for reading out motion prediction information from the moving picture data and judging the frame used for motion prediction in compression/encoding of the frame to be outputted; and decompression/decoding means for decompressing/decoding only the frame judged by the judgment means and the frame to be outputted.

There are provided a device and a method capable of improving the prediction efficiency and encoding efficiency by selecting an optimal frame used for prediction. There are provided a device and a method for compressing/encoding a frame imaged by a plurality of cameras including a standard camera in which a frame imaged by itself is compressed/encoded by a motion prediction using only the frame imaged by itself and a reference camera in which a frame imaged by itself is compressed/encoded by a motion prediction using the frame imaged by itself and the motion prediction using the frame imaged by another camera. When compressing/encoding the frame imaged by the reference camera, a frame to be used for motion prediction is decided according to the motion of an object in the imaged frame before the frame to be processed is imaged.

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 encoding device includes a boundary pixel prediction value generation unit, boundary pixel prediction error estimation unit, and a quantized coefficient encoding unit. The boundary pixel prediction value generation unit generates a boundary pixel prediction value as a prediction value of a boundary pixel adjacent to an encoded block in the encoding block from a locally decoded image of a plurality of encoded blocks adjacent to the encoding block. The boundary pixel prediction error estimation unit generates boundary pixel prediction error estimation information from the boundary pixel prediction value and the encoding block prediction image with respect to the boundary pixel. The quantized coefficient encoding unit generates encoding block entropy encoded data from the quantized coefficients and the boundary pixel prediction error estimation information.
