A moving image signal encoding apparatus comprises a frame decimating circuit for extracting encoded frames from an input moving image signal at specified intervals, a frame interpolating circuit for obtaining an interpolated frame between the encoded frames, and a circuit for obtaining an error formed by frame interpolation. A moving image signal decoding apparatus comprises a receiving circuit for extracting a frame code from an inputted signal, a frame decoding circuit for decoding the frame code to obtain a reproduced frame, and a frame interpolating circuit for obtaining an interpolated frame between the reproduced frames. By transmitting an error of the interpolated frame from the …

Why it's free to use

  • Filed May 10, 1990 and granted February 15, 1994. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended May 10, 2010.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by May 10, 2012.
  • We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
