IMAGE SIGNAL PROCESSOR AND METHOD THEREFOR, AND IMAGE SIGNAL REPRODUCING DEVICE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To allow a conventional image-pickup element to enable panorama photographing. SOLUTION: This processor encodes an image signal, consisting of a plurality of moving photographing area images for coding into a bit stream conforming to the MPEG 2 standards and is provided with a motion vector detector 17 that detects a motion vector among a plurality of photographing areas and with a control section 18 that sums the motion vectors detected by the motion vector detector 17 and controls the coding of the image, when the summed motion vector exceeds a prescribed threshold level.
