Abstract: In the time-varying image signal coding apparatus, a local encoded signal is quantized by a quantizing circuit, and the quantized signal is selected when refreshing is to be accomplished, and subjected to code transform by a code transform circuit to be transmitted to a time-varying image signal decoding apparatus. The signal supplied from the quantizing circuit is a transform coefficient in the transform region, and this is divided into a plurality of groups to be refreshed on a group-by-group basis. The transfer control on a group-by-group basis when refreshing is to take place is accomplished with a control signal supplied from a switching control circuit, and this control signal also undergoes code transform by the code transform circuit to be transmitted to the time-varying image signal decoding apparatus.

Abstract: In a predictive encoder device supplied with an input image signal divisible into odd and even number line signals, first and second predictive encoders (32, 37) individually carry out predictive encoding of the odd and the even number line signals into first and second encoded signals at a comparatively low speed by the use of first and second local decoded signals, respectively. The first and the second local decoded signals are supplied to the second and the first predictive encoders through delay circuits (42, 43), respectively, to predict a current picture element with reference to picture elements located on adjacent lines. Two delay circuits (36, 44) are connected to an output terminal (32c) of the first predictive encoder and to an input terminal (37a) of the second predictive encoder to adjust timings of the first and the second encoded signals. A predictive decoder device also comprises first and second predictive decoders (62, 83) corresponding to the first and the second predictive encoders.
