<p>A motion vector detector 7A designates a plurality of search vectors for each of pixel patterns. A search window memory unit 2 and a converter 3 output pixel data for the designated search vector and the designated pixel pattern. An evaluator 4 calculates an evaluation for the designated search vector and the designated pixel pattern. A pixel pattern accumulator 8 calculates an accumulation of evaluations. A motion vector detector 7A aborts the accumulation of evaluations for a search vector providing a small accumulated total of evaluations so that the search vector is removed from a group of candidates for a motion vector. <IMAGE></p> |
