Abstract:
1. An image signal decoding apparatus comprising: a main storage division used for controlling the entire image signal decoding apparatus, which has a frame storage division for storing frame data for performing the motion compensation process; and a decoding processing division for performing a decoding process including motion compensation, which has a dedicated storage division used for a motion compensation process in decoding of an image signal, and a motion compensation processing division for performing the motion compensation process to the image signal, and wherein said dedicated storage division stores, of the frame data stored in said frame storage division, the frame data of a predetermined address highly likely to be referred to in the motion compensation process; and said motion compensation processing division performs the motion compensation process by referring to the frame data stored in said dedicated storage division, and wherein said frame storage division stores the frame data of one frame and overwrites the processing results outputted by said motion compensation processing division to the corresponding address of the stored frame data, and wherein, in the case where said motion compensation processing division needs to refer to the frame data not stored in the frame storage division, said address administration division has a predetermined error compensation process that is defined performed.
