<p>A method of detecting motion vectors within a predetermined search range for motion-compensation predictive coding is disclosed. The method includes the steps of searching for first motion vectors between two frames which are separated from each other in a time dimension by a first frame distance, selecting a second frame distance of two frames between which picture motion is represented by second motion vectors, making a check whether the predetermined search range covers a predetermined percentage of the second motion vectors, the check using the first motion vectors as estimates of the second motion vectors after compensation for a difference between the first frame distance and the second frame distance, and deciding, based on results of the check, whether to increase a frame distance for prediction. <IMAGE></p> |
