Abstract
Abstract By a motion vector correction circuit 313, a motion vector minimizing the sum of a value of the quadratic error function having a motion vector as a variable and the motion vector changing amount in neighboring blocks is determined, and it is linearly interpolated by a motion vector interpolation circuit 314 to obtain a motion vector in a pixel unit, and a motion compensated picture is generated, and a differential picture of the current frame and this motion compensated picture is divided into sub-bands by a video transform circuit 304, and only the information in the region of the larger differential signal energy is coded.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
127 words
A video coder comprising: a prediction error image generating means for generating an image from a reference frame by using frame correlation, a band dividing means for dividing an image into plural frequency band components, a changing region detecting means for detecting a region within each frequency band component of the image that has a luminance change larger than a certain amount, a region information coding means for transmitting position information of the region detected by the changing region detecting means, and a band component coding means for transmitting only the region detected by the changing region detecting means for each frequency band component of the image divided by the band dividing means, whereby image information only in the region with a large luminance change is transmitted.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
