Abstract

Abstract A motion picture image transmission apparatus constructing a motion picture image transmission system for coding and decoding a motion picture signal in the block unit includes an output section for detecting an error of received coded data and outputting a detection signal, an identifying section for identifying a non-decodable block based on the detection signal, a prediction section for subjecting values of pixels near the non-decodable block to motion compensation prediction according to the respective motion vectors and motion compensation methods of a plurality of decodable blocks near the block, a calculating section for calculating motion compensation prediction error values of the results of prediction, a selecting section for selecting a motion vector applied to the non-decodable block from the plurality of motion vectors or the like based on the error value, and a correcting section for correcting a decodable block by motion compensation by use of the selected motion vector or the like.
