Title:
IMAGE ENCODING METHOD AND IMAGE DECODING METHOD
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2004040512
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:

To improve the encoding efficiency of a direct mode of an encoding system for selecting two optional reference frames from a plurality of reference frames and performing inter-frame prediction by interpolation prediction.

A scaling coefficient table for a direct mode which stores a plurality of scaling coefficients for the direct mode is provided, a direct mode coefficient is selected and used in accordance with a first relative index value of the direct mode, and a motion vector for the direct mode which takes into consideration a display time difference between an encoding object frame and a reference frame can thereby be generated, therefore being able to improve the encoding efficiency in the direct mode.
