<p>PURPOSE:To provide a naturally reproduced image by including edge images as a partial set, calculating a visual component minimizing an applied energy function, encoding a residual image component for which this visual component is separated from a source image, transmitting this residual image component and decoding encoded edge information and residual component. CONSTITUTION:A moving object area detector 11 extracts a moving object area from the difference between an image In-1 at preceding time and an image In at the present time. Then, an edge related to the moving object area is detected 12 by executing an edge detecting operation, and the information of the detected edge is encoded by an edge encoder 13 and transmitted. In this case, a visual component preparing device 16 calculates the visual component which includes the edge information as the partial set and minimizes the applied energy function, and the residual image component separating the visual component is encoded by a moving image encoder 17 and transmitted. At a moving image decoder 20, the received information is edge-decoded 21, the edge image at the present time is restored while referring to the edge image at the preceding time, and moving image decoding 25 is executed.</p> |
