Publication number: 20010014125Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a motion image coding and decoding devices which can make it possible to perform efficient motion image transmission even though a large inter-frame difference regardless of a zero motion vector. For respective small divided blocks, motion vectors are detected by an ME from motion image input data and local decoded motion image data of a previous frame stored in a frame memory. A GE detects a luminance gain which is a coefficient multiplied to luminance signal pixels of the local decoded motion image data of the previous frame, at which a sum of difference absolute values between the motion image input data and the local decoded motion image data is minimum. When the detected motion vector is a zero vector, gain-compensated motion image data obtained such that motion-compensated motion image data subjected to motion compensation by an MC is subjected to gain compensation by a luminance gain is generated.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 14, 2001Publication date: August 16, 2001Inventor: Yukio Endo

Patent number: 6064246Abstract: A flip-flop circuit consists of a conventional pulse-drive flip-flop plus a clock driver and a local pulse generator that generates a pulse signal according to the output of the clock driver. The flip-flop circuits of this kind are used to form, for example, a shift register in which the clock drivers are connected in series from the last stage toward the first stage. The clock driver in the last stage receives a clock signal, which is successively supplied to the flip-flop circuits from the one in the last stage toward the one in the first stage. This arrangement prevents a data-pass-through problem, assures a sharp waveform of pulse signals, and reduces the size of each clock driver. This type of flip-flop circuits may be used to form logic circuits such as N-bit registers and N-bit shift registers.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 1997Date of Patent: May 16, 2000Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Yukio Endo, Masato Nagamatsu
