Abstract

An interframe coding system is described which is capable of transmitting both 4-MHz videotelephone signals and NTSC color TV signals at an average rate of 6.312 Mbits/s. The coding system takes as much advantage as possible of in-frame correlation, in addition to interframe correlation, by coding pel-to-pel difference of interframe difference (combinational difference). Variable-length word coding is effectively used to reduce the number of bits to be transmitted. In order to prevent buffer overflow, luminance and spatial resolutions are controlled. To control luminance resolution, interframe difference is multiplied by a coefficient \alpha \leq 1 , so that value approaches zero when violent motion causes the buffer to fill. Though multiplication with small α results in temporal resolution reduction in moving areas, quality degradation is not too marked. Spatial resolution control is achieved by using subsample and subline coding modes.
