Abstract: There is disclosed image predictive coding
apparatus and method, image predictive decoding apparatus
and method and recording medium which stores therein the
image predictive coding method or the image predictive
decoding method, of which the transform efficiency is
remarkably improved in comparison with the prior arts.
According to the above image predictive coding apparatus
and method, when dividing inputted image data to be coded
into image data of a plurality of small regions which are
adjacent to each other and coding the image data of an
objective small region to be processed among the image data
of the plurality of divided small regions which are
adjacent to each other, reconstructed image data of a
reproduction small region adjacent to the image data of the
objective small region to be processed is used as image
data of an intra-frame prediction small region of the
objective small region to be processed, the image data of
the intra-frame prediction small region is used as image
data of an optimum prediction small region and image data
of a difference small region which are differences between
the image data of the objective small region to be
processed and the image data of the optimum prediction
small region is generated. Then, the generated image data
of the difference small region is coded and outputted, and 
then the coded image data of the difference small region is
decoded, so that the reconstructed image data of the
reproduction small region is generated by adding the
decoded image data of the difference small region to the
image data of the optimum prediction small region.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention seek to improve motion
detection accuracy. A moving region discriminator of a motion
detector circuit utilizes the field differential value and three
frame differential values a through c to detect a moving region
while also taking scene change, device mode information and line
differential values into account. Frame differential values b
and c are calculated utilizing the pixel positions on the lines
above and below the line positioned with pixels for the calculated
frame differential a. An isolation region eliminator detects a
moving region enclosed by still regions, and converts that moving
region into a still region. A moving region expander converts
into moving regions, a specified number of pixels of still regions
adjoining regions determined to be moving regions.

The unit (14) causing relative motion between sewing head (10) and sewn material (90), is so constructed that the seam formed, runs at least approximately in the direction of the path of motion of the needle (40). Preferred features: A foot (60) holding the material down is located on the carrier (20), having a slot corresponding with needle motion. The foot is height-adjustable on the carrier. The catcher is a pin fastened to a swinging lever mounted to pivot on the carrier and connected to a drive. The needle drive is a reversible motor, geared to the needle shaft. The drive includes a timing belt running on pinions of the drive motor and needle shaft. A further version of the needle drive employs an eccentric. A cam drives the catcher and a reversible motor drive is included. The carrier translates in a frame of the sewing head, for back and forth parallel adjustment relative to the movement between sewn material and sewing head. A guide prevents undesired side motion following penetration of the material by the needle. The guide is an annular groove in a roller. The curved needle has a support contacting its convex exterior during at least part of its stroke. This is a roller on a bearing with its axis parallel to the needle curve axis, and having a groove accepting the needle.
