    摘要: A reference image memory comprises seven reference bank memories each having a capacity which can store three reference macroblocks in the vertical direction. Of the seven reference bank memories, any three reference bank memories are adaptively allocated to motion estimation of full pixel precision, any other three reference bank memories are adaptively allocated to motion estimation of half pixel precision, and remaining one reference bank memory is adaptively allocated to spare transfer for image data of a reference macroblock used in motion estimation with respect to the next target macroblock. The reference bank memories are connected to a motion estimating circuit via a total of seven respective buses separately. The motion estimating circuit performs the motion estimation of full pixel precision, the motion estimation of half pixel precision, and the spare transfer for image data of a reference macroblock used in motion estimation with respect to the next target macroblock, in parallel.

    摘要: Encoding processes are performed in their respective encoding modes until their respective quantized DCT (discrete cosine transform) coefficients are generated. Based on information about code amounts generated in the encoding modes, an encoding mode that provides a smallest code amount is determined. DCT coefficients corresponding to the determined encoding mode are subjected to variable-length encoding.
