High efficiency encoding and decoding of picture signals and recording medium containing same

TLDR
In this paper, an encoder considers a frame representing a picture as comprised of areas and decides which of frame-based or field-based orthogonal transformation will be most efficient at reducing spatial redundancy in that area.
Abstract
An encoder considers a frame representing a picture as comprised of areas. For each area, the encoder decides which of frame-based or field-based orthogonal transformation will be most efficient at reducing spatial redundancy in that area. For each area, the encoder decides which of frame-based or field-based predictive encoding will be most efficient at reducing temporal redundancy in that area. The encoder encodes each area of the picture frame using the most efficient orthogonal transformation technique and using the most efficient predictive encoding technique to produce an encoded signal. A decoder decodes the encoded signal. The encoded signal is recorded on a recording medium, transmitted over a transmission channel, or broadcast.

Compression method for interlace moving image signals

TL;DR: In this article, prediction coding is used as the method of compressing image signals, which divides an input frame image into input field images, divides a comparison frame image to comparison field images and makes an extracted motion vector which is smaller than the value for evaluation of prediction error, the motion vector for motion compensation prediction coding.
