Moving picture encoding apparatus

摘要: In a picture encoding apparatus which can reduce an amount of computation in encoding, frames are inputted time series, and scene change is detected. A number for identifying identical or similar assigned to each the frames, when new appears, assigned. Picture having same thereto, being continuously inputted, encoded inter-prediction mode. With respect frame after change, search made reference accordance with number. If no exists, carried out intra-prediction any one mode so as minimize cost.
