Title: Digital video signal decoding apparatus and presumed motion vector calculating method
Inventor: MACHIDA YUTAKA
IPC: H04N19/895
Filed: 1993-06-30
Granted: 1999-02-23
Abstract: A digital video signal decoding apparatus has a memory for storing motion vectors which have been decoded by a decoder, and a motion vector presuming circuit for calculating a presumed motion vector from the motion vectors stored in the memory, whereby, even if a part of a bit stream has been lost and each of pixel blocks which have been lost accordingly cannot be decoded, each of the lost pixel blocks is replaced by a corresponding pixel block in the previous frame which has been motion-compensated through a motion compensation circuit by using the presumed motion vector, thereby preventing degradation of the picture quality at that pixel block portion.
