Patent ID: 6937654

Claim:
A moving picture coding control apparatus comprising: a control data storing section that stores a coding control database, the coding control database including an optimum relationship of data between local features, a coding data quantity, a quantity that expresses picture quality, and local coding parameters, for each block; a moving picture input section to which a moving picture data is input; a moving picture feature extracting section that analyzes the moving picture data that has been input to the moving picture input section, and extracts local features of a moving picture; a parameter information storing section that stores local features of one to a plurality of frames extracted by the moving picture feature extracting section; an optimum local coding parameter controller that adjusts a setting of local coding parameters of each block included in one to a plurality of frames so that the distribution of coding data quantity of each block in one to a plurality of frames is optimized within a predetermined range of data quantity and that the distribution of picture quality between the blocks is optimized within one to a plurality of frames, based on the local features of one to a plurality of frames stored in the parameter information storing section, and the coding control database of the control data storing section; a moving picture encoder that encodes the moving picture data input from the moving picture input section based on the local coding parameters output from the optimum local coding parameter controller and global coding parameters input from the outside; and a moving picture code output section that outputs the moving picture data coded by the moving picture encoder.
