Abstract: A decoding method and coding method of moving image signal, and a decoding apparatus and coding apparatus using the same, provides for coding or decoding at least two or more motion vectors, relating to the present processing pixel block, compensating the motion of the coded frame corresponding to each motion vector, generating two or more predicted images relating to the present processing image block, and selecting the predicted image for use in reconstruction of the present processing pixel block depending on presence or absence of decoding error contained in these two or more predicted images. Accordingly, if a decoding error occurs due to bit error in the bit stream, propagation of picture quality deterioration in time can be suppressed, so that excellent decoding of digital moving image signal is realized.

Abstract: A vertical region designation circuit 141 outputs a vertical region designation signal to a vertical driver 103 on the basis of vertical display position information, a vertical synchronization signal and a horizontal synchronization signal. A horizontal region designation circuit 142 outputs a horizontal region designation signal to a horizontal driver 102 on the basis of horizontal display position information, a pixel synchronization signal, a vertical synchronization signal and a horizontal synchronization signal. The horizontal driver 102 outputs an input picture signal to a picture display surface 101 from a signal line at a horizontal coordinate corresponding to the number of times of pixel synchronization signals that is counted from an input horizontal synchronization signal as a starting point during a period when a horizontal region designation signal is effective.

Abstract: Image de/coding unit 801 decodes coded image data and stores the image data on a temporary basis. Image address bus 123 and image data bus 124 connect image de/coding unit 801 and image display section 901. Image display section 901 stores image data like moving images in frame memory 914 which is a preexisting circuit, and displays the images that are for specified areas and that are produced in image de/coding unit 801 and previously produced images stored in frame memory 914 in overlap. By this means, it is possible to reduce the traffic on MPU (Micro Processor Unit) busses and to present large-volume image data such as moving images by relatively simple additions of functions.

Abstract: A decoding section 111 decodes inputted coded data to image data and outputs it to an image data writing section 112 whenever necessary. The decoding section 111 outputs a decode completion notice signal to an image data reading section 114 and control signal generating section 115 every time when outputting a predetermined amount of image data (for example, an amount corresponding to one frame). The image data writing section 112 writes image data to the storing section 113 whenever necessary. An image data reading section 114 operates intermittently with timing when the decode completion notice signal is input thereto, and reads a predetermined amount of image data from the storage section 113. The control signal generating section 115 generates a control signal 206 that instructs a new portion in image data decoded by decoding means.

Abstract: A method for encoding and decoding digital moving picture signals which can decode subframes appropriately in relation to time if a part of a bit stream is missing or an error occurs in the bit stream, and can suppress degradation of a reproduced picture if decoding of a subframe including a picture in motion in relation to time becomes unfeasible. In the method for encoding and decoding digital moving picture signals of this invention, information for one frame is encoded correspondingly to a spatial hierarchy of a frame, subframes and blocks. A subframe time position number and a subframe space number are attached to an identifier of each of the subframe, thereby resuming appropriate decoding of the subframes immediately after a trouble if an error occurs.

Abstract: Important quantized coefficients having absolute values which are higher than a threshold value are extracted from each of quantized coefficient streams into which a digital image signal is transformed, and an important quantized coefficient stream composed of the important quantized coefficients and zero-valued quantized coefficients is produced on condition that the number of important quantized coefficients and zero-valued quantized coefficients is equal to that of quantized coefficients in each quantized coefficient stream and positions of the important quantized coefficients in the important quantized coefficient stream are the same as those in a corresponding quantized coefficient stream. Also, a lesser-important quantized coefficient stream is produced by subtracting the important quantized coefficient stream from the corresponding quantized coefficient stream.

Abstract: An input picture signal is divided into blocks. The blocks are grouped into groups each having a plurality of blocks. The input picture signal is encoded into a second picture signal block by block. The second picture signal uses a variable length code. An error correction signal is added to the second picture signal for each of the groups. A signal of a start address and a signal of a location address are added to the second picture signal for each of the groups. The start address represents a position of a bit within each of the groups. The location address representing a spatial position of a block within each of the groups.

Abstract: A digital video signal decoding apparatus has a memory for storing motion vectors which have been decoded by a decoder, and a motion vector calculating circuit for calculating a presumed motion vector from the motion vectors stored in the memory, whereby, even if part of a bit stream has been lost and each of pixel blocks which have been lost accordingly cannot be decoded, each of the lost pixel blocks is filled in by a corresponding pixel block in a preceeding frame which has been motion-compensated through a motion compensation circuit by using the presumed motion vector, thereby preventing degradation of the picture quality at that pixel block portion.

Abstract: A moving-image signal encoding apparatus is provided in which information to be lost is suppressed to a minimum extent when a cell is lost in a transmission line. A cell assembler divides a bitstream into cells of bits and adds to the cells positional information of encoded words having particular meaning within the cell. When the cells are lost in the transmission line, a decoding is allowed from the encoded words having particular meaning which appears at a first bit of bitstream succeeding to the lost cells.

Abstract: Disclosed is a Japanese pear tree bearing fruit with yellow-reddish-brown skin; having good vigor, a stout shoot, high resistance to black spot disease, and high productivity. This tree produces circular-shaped fruit which mature late in the season (i.e., from the middle to end of October), in the central part of the Kanto district of Japan. This fruit is large, with an average weight of 607 g. The white flesh is soft, crisp, and very juicy. This flesh has a moderate Brix (the pH of the juice being about 4.32) and no aromatic flavor: thus, it possesses excellent dessert quality.
