[0085] By further reducing the capacity of the reference image memories prepared in the first embodiment for encoding and decoding, wherein each reference image memory has a capacity of 1 / 2 frame size, it is possible to use the vacant memory area for other use. Figure 5 is a view for describing the usage method of the reference image memory and the audio memory in the second embodiment. The present embodiment performs control in such a manner that the capacity of the reference image memory is further reduced to less than 1 / 2 frame size, and uses the memory area thus made vacant as the audio memory space.

[0086] refer to Figure 5 , Reference numeral 321 represents the audio memory of the encoder used to encode the audio in the local station, reference numeral 322 represents the audio memory of the decoder used to decode the audio in the local station, and reference numeral 323 represents the audio memory used in the remote station The audio memory of the decoder that deco...

[0097] Even under communication conditions in which image quality is deteriorated by sharing the reference image memory prepared in the first embodiment for encoding and decoding between an encoder and a decoder according to circumstances, each of which is With a capacity of 1 / 2 frame size, it is also possible to utilize a reference image memory having a limited capacity in order to improve image quality.

[0098] In the third embodiment, in order to allow the encoder and decoder to share the reference picture memory on a case-by-case basis, the local station and the remote station use figure 2 The encoding method of the user region shown here exchanges requests and authorization responses to share reference image memory. Figure 6A to Figure 9 is a view for illustrating the usage method of the reference image memory in the third embodiment.

[0099] 6A to 6C show that when the user judges that it is necessary to improve the image quality of the image to be transmitted from...

Abstract

Communications means is provided to enable two pieces of motion picture coding apparatus, placed oppositely so that capacities of reference image memories needed for decoding can be detected in advance, to exchange capacity control information of the reference memories. The respective pieces of motion picture coding apparatus are configured in such a manner that memory capacities are sharable between the reference image memories for encoding and the reference image memories for decoding, and a capacity of the reference image memory for encoding is determined depending on a capacity of the reference image memory for decoding. It is thus possible to reduce capacities of the reference image memories for encoding and the reference image memories for decoding to be equal to or smaller than a capacity defined in the two-way motion picture communication system.

Description
