Provided are an apparatus and method for processing a three-dimensional (3D) video signal which corrects first and second video signals to prevent a reduction in a 3D effect and a disparity estimation error due to a difference between the first and second video signals. The method includes: a video signal detection unit detecting a difference between respective characteristics of received first and second video signals; and a video signal correction unit correcting the first video signal or the second video signal to equalize the characteristics of the first and second video signals. When the apparatus and the method are used, a reduction in the 3D effect and the disparity estimation error due to the difference between the first and second video signals can be prevented.

A method and an apparatus for encoding a multiview video using a minimum amount of information regarding the multiview video are provided. The method includes: categorizing a plurality of B frames into at least two groups according to a predetermined standard; and sequentially encoding the categorized B frames. Therefore, a multiview video which is realistic can be simultaneously provided to many people using a minimum amount of information regarding the multiview video.

A method and apparatus are provided for controlling the timing between video decoding and video displaying. The apparatus contains a video decoder for decoding a B picture included in an input video bitstream, on the basis of previous and following I and P pictures, a memory for storing the decoded B picture by one frame, and a decoding controller for comparing the amount of data displayed with the amount of data decoded while outputting the decoded B picture stored in the memory, and controlling decoding of a subsequent B picture to prevent the decoding from overlapping with the displaying. In the apparatus, although the memory space for B picture storage is set as one frame, the decoding of a picture is prevented from overlapping with the displaying thereof. Thus, decoding efficiency is not lessened even though a memory of two frame size is not employed.

An apparatus for decoding variable-length codewords has a FIFO memory which stores a bitstream and outputs an N-bit sequence from the first bit position in the stored bitstream in response to a carry signal. The number of bits "N" corresponds to the longest variable-length codeword. A barrel shifter receives part of a 2N-bit sequence in response to the carry signal, and outputs an N-bit sequence in response to the accumulated codeword length. Another barrel shifter outputs an N-bit sequence in response to the codeword length for storing the 2N-bit sequence from the first barrel shifter. The decoder generates a run-length and a level corresponding to a variable-length codeword starting at a first bit position in the N-bit sequence. The decoder generates a second run equivalent signal during a run-length interval, and then outputs data of "0" in response to the second run equivalent signal, and outputs a level in response to the first run equivalent signal. A codeword length generator generates a codeword corresponding to the first variable-length codeword in the output of the second barrel shifter. An operator adds and modulo-N-operates a previously accumulated codeword length and a codeword length from the codeword length generator and outputs the residue as an accumulated codeword length and the quotient as a carry signal.

A decoding apparatus for use in decoding data encoded according to MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 standards. The decoding apparatus generates a signal indicating that received data is encoded according to the MPEG-2 standard if an expansion start code is contained in the input data, while a code standard signal indicating the MPEG-1 code standard is generated if no expansion start code is contained in the input data. A run level determiner outputs data from one portion of the input data as an escape code level, when the code standard signal indicates the MPEG-2 code standard, and determines the escape code level according to whether an absolute value of data within a specific bit interval contained in the portion of data is larger than or equal to, or less than, 128, when the code standard signal indicates the MPEG-1 code standard.

A noise measurement apparatus and a method thereof capable of reducing an error in measuring a noise of incoming image signals. A picture of an incoming image signal is broken into at least two blocks and an average brightness value with respect to each block is calculated in a sequence. At least two first data, each being a sum of differences between the calculated average brightness value and brightness values of respective constituent pixels of the block, where the average brightness value is calculated, and a spatial noise is calculated based on the at least two first data. At least two second data that indicate a difference a brightness value of each block of the picture and a brightness value of each block of a delayed picture is calculated, and a temporal noise is calculated based on the at least two second data. A noise on the image signal is calculated based on the spatial noise and the temporal noise.

A motion image decoding apparatus receives encoded image data which has first, second and third data regions, such as MPEG macroblocks which have predetermined sizes, and a motion vector for each of the data regions. The motion image decoding apparatus conceals errors in the first data region by generating an error signal and using a motion vector of a second data region which is located on a line preceding a line containing the first data region having the error and which is in a same picture as the first data region and also by using a motion vector corresponding to a third data region which is located in a column preceding the column containing the first data region having the error and which is also in a same picture as that of the first data region. If no error is generated in the first data region, the motion vector for that data region is used to perform motion compensation.

A method of adaptively attenuating image-noise according to a degree of motion of an image signal and an apparatus therefor are provided. An input image signal is filtered in a spatial area to attenuate noise of the input image signal. The input image signal is filtered in a temporal direction to attenuate noise of the input image signal. A degree of motion of the input image signal is extracted each predetermined period. An image signal whose noise is spatially attenuated is mixed with an image signal whose noise is temporally attenuated according to the degree of motion of the input image signal and a mixed image signal is output.
