<p>In an apparatus for coding a moving picture in which one frame is comprised of two fields, this apparatus includes coding means such that, with respect to all blocks in a frame, the odd field (the first field) and the even field (second field) are divided into blocks, thus permitting motion prediction of the second field from the first field, and coding means adapted for switching, every macro block, whether or not a frame is divided into the first field and the second field to generate block data to adaptively switch these coding means every frame, thereby making it possible to obtain a picture of a high picture quality with a lesser quantity of information, to reduce the scale of hardware, and to reduce the capacity of a decoder. <IMAGE></p> |
