Claim 1
Independent Claim
207 words
A moving image encoder comprising: a contour extracting means for dividing a local decoded image into a plurality of segments and extracting contour information from said a plurality of segments therein for each of an n number of frames, n being a natural number, in which encoding has been completed; a motion parameter extracting means for extracting a set of motion parameters based on said contour information for each of an n number of frames in which encoding has been completed; a motion compensation means for forming a prediction image based on said local decoded image, said contour information, and said set of motion parameters for each of an n number of frames in which encoding has been completed; an encoding means for forming encoded information by means of quantizing a differential signal of said prediction image with a present frame; a local decoding means for adding said prediction image to a signal formed by inverse quantization of said encoded information, forming a local decoded image from said signal, and storing said local decoded image into frame memory; and a transmission means for transmitting said encoded information and said set of motion parameters for each of an n number of frames in which encoding has been completed.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
77 words
A moving image encoder as mentioned in claim 1 wherein, said encoding means is constructed such that a differential signal of a present frame and said prediction image is transformed and quantized to form encoded information; and said local decoding means is constructed such that said prediction image is added to a signal formed by inverse quantization and inverse transform of said encoded information to form a local decoded image, which is then stored into frame memory.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
23 words
A moving image encoder as mentioned in claim 1 further comprising an interpolation means for performing an interpolation operation on said prediction image.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
22 words
A moving image encoder as mentioned in claim 1 further comprising an overlap processing means for processing overlap of said prediction image.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
29 words
A moving image encoder as mentioned in claim 1 wherein, said motion compensating means is constructed such that a brightness or contrast is corrected to form a prediction image.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim

A moving image decoder comprising: a receiving means for receiving encoded information and motion parameters for each of an n number of frames, n being a natural number, in which encoding has been completed; a contour extracting means for dividing each decoded image into a plurality of segments and extracting contour information from said a plurality of segments therein for each of an n number of frames in which encoding has been completed; a motion compensation means for forming a prediction image based on said decoded image, said contour information, and said motion parameters for each of an n number of frames in which encoding has been completed; a decoding means for adding said prediction image to a signal formed by inverse quantization of said encoded information, forming a decoded image from said signal, and storing said decoded image into frame memory.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
48 words
