VIDEO IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE, VIDEO IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND VIDEO IMAGE PROCESSING PROGRAM

摘要

A coding subject video is divided into a plurality of continuous frames, i.e., shots, and a difference between a shot and a similar shot is coded for each shot(a reference frame of each frame in the coding subject shot is defined as each corresponding frame in a shot similar to the shot). A shot “A3” in the diagram, for example, is coded with reference to a similar shot “A0” (forward estimate) while a shot “A1” or “A2” is also coded with reference to similar shots “A0” and “A3” (bidirectional estimate).
