<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a moving picture coding apparatus capable of canceling respective disadvantages of frame unit coding and field unit coding by utilizing respective advantages of them. <P>SOLUTION: A coding section (11) coding a frame to be coded in frame unit or in field unit. A coding control section (14) instructs the coding section (11) to carry out the coding in the field unit when the coding target frame is an I picture or a P picture. The coding control section (14) instructs the coding section (11) to carry out the coding in the frame unit when the coding target frame is a B picture. Thus, when the coding target frame is the I picture or the P picture, the coding target frame is coded in the field unit. On the other hand, when the coding target frame is the B picture, the coding target frame is coded in the frame unit. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT</p> |
