Video encoder and decoder

摘要

A moving image coding apparatus, a moving image decoding apparatus and a moving image coding-decoding apparatus suitable for use when a moving image is compressed and transmitted have a prediction error signal generating means (1) for dividing an inputted image into blocks each consisting of plural pixels and computing a difference between the inputted image and a predicted image generated from a past inputted image to generate a prediction error signal, an amplitude modulating means (2) for conducting amplitude modulation on an amplitude of each pixel of the prediction error signal at a predetermined modulation factor, a transforming means (3) for transforming the prediction error signal having been undergone amplitude modulation in order to remove correlation among the pixels to generate a transform coefficient, a quantizing means (4) for quantizing the generated transform coefficient, and a channel coding means (5) for assigning a code to the quantized transform coefficient and outputting it, whereby a visually prominent error can be decreased over an entire block when the moving image is coded and decoded.
