Patent ID: 8488671

Claim:
A moving picture encoding device for encoding a moving picture constituted of a time sequence of frame pictures by motion compensation, the device comprising: a reference picture generation section configured to generate a plurality of different reference pictures, by executing a plurality of different picture processing on a single reference frame picture, in accordance with an encoding condition of a predetermined area to be encoded, wherein the reference picture generation section is configured to generate, from the single reference frame picture, a first reference picture that has no funny position, and a second reference picture, from the single reference frame, that is more strongly smoothed than the first reference picture; and a motion compensation section configured to calculate a motion compensation value for the predetermined area to be encoded, by using a generated reference picture subjected to the predetermined picture processing, wherein the moving picture encoding device implements an image processing using the plurality of different reference pictures, the motion compensation section determines a motion compensation value of the first reference picture that is equal to a motion compensation value in each pixel position of an integer pixel position, a ½ pixel position and a ¼ pixel position of a block defined in TML-8, except that an original motion compensation value is used for a motion compensation value in a same position as the funny position of the block defined in TML-8, and the motion compensation section uses the second reference picture to calculate the motion compensation value only when distortion is suppressed more than when using the first reference picture.
