<p>A video signal encoder codes a video signal including texture information and shape information on each of macroblocks, a macroblock having 16x16 pixels and being dividable into 4 number of equal-sized DCT-blocks. The encoder produces encoded shape information by encoding the shape information on a processing macroblock and generates a reconstructed shape information by decoding the encoded shape information. Then, a DCT_type of the processing macroblock is determined based on the reconstructed shape information and the texture information on the processing macroblock to thereby provide DCT_type information representing the DCT_type. Once the DCT_type of the processing macroblock is decided, the encoder generates encoded texture information by adaptively encoding the texture information through the use of a progressive or an interlaced coding technique in response to the DCT_type information. Furthermore, the encoder generates CBPY information by using the encoding results of the texture information and provides a data stream to be transmitted in sequence of the encoded shape information, the encoded CBPY information, the DCT_type information and the encoded texture information.</p> |
