Abstract:
A predictive coding system can encode motion vectors by determining a motion vector of a target partition in a frame picture of an encoding target; determining a first motion vector predictor candidate from a motion vector or motion vectors of one or more partitions belonging to a left-neighboring region to the target partition; determining a second motion vector predictor candidate from a motion vector or motion vectors of one or more partitions belonging to an above-neighboring region to the target partition; selecting an optimum motion vector predictor and outputting motion vector predictor indication information to specify the selected optimum motion vector predictor, the optimum motion vector predictor selected based on comparison between one or more motion vector predictor candidates including the first motion vector predictor candidate and the second motion vector predictor candidate, and the motion vector of the target partition; and encoding the motion vector predictor indication information.

Claim (Index 29):
A method for predictively decoding a motion vector used in motion compensated prediction to restore a video sequence consisting of a temporal sequence of a plurality of frame pictures, comprising:\n a step of determining a first motion vector predictor candidate that satisfies a predetermined criterion used in determination of motion vector predictor candidates, from motion vectors of partitions belonging to a left-neighboring region located on the left side of a target partition in a frame picture of a decoding target; a step of determining a second motion vector predictor candidate satisfying a predetermined criterion used in determination of motion vector predictor candidates, from motion vectors of partitions belonging to an above-neighboring region located above the target partition; a step of decoding coded data and restoring motion vector predictor indication information that specifies an optimum motion vector predictor of the target partition; and a step of selecting the optimum motion vector predictor specified by the motion vector predictor indication information, from motion vector predictor candidates including at least the first motion vector predictor candidate and the second motion vector predictor candidate; wherein the step of determining a second motion vector predictor candidate determines a motion vector that satisfies the predetermined criterion used in determination of motion vector predictor candidates as a second motion vector predictor candidate, from motion vectors of partitions, by scanning the partitions belonging to the above-neighboring region, from a right direction to a left direction, and the partitions scanned from the right direction to the left direction include one or more thinned partitions.
