Picture encoding method, picture encoding apparatus and picture recording medium

A mechanism for encoding an input video signal, e.g. predictive encoding, or DCT processing, based on a fixed quantization step size and variable length encoding. A first bit stream is generated and an encoding rate corresponding to a predetermined period is determined based on (1) the quantity of available data associated with the first bit stream, (2) the encoding difficulty, and (3) the quantity of usable data. Further on, the input video signal is quantized based on the encoding rate previously determined, and then variable length encoding is performed to generate a second bit stream. Thus, a variable rate is obtained as the encoding rate changes every predetermined period. In the case when the second bit stream is recorded onto picture recording media, the memory capacity is efficiently used and the recording time is extended. Even when pictures of a complicated pattern are successive, the quantization step size does not become too large and therefore, uniform high quality picture is obtained throughout the entire transmission.

Thereby, the data transfer between encoding means and the multiplexing means does not performed.

Picture encoding method, picture encoding apparatus and picture recording medium

This invention employs a scheme to allow an input video signal to undergo encoding, e.g., predictive encoding, DCT processing, quantization at fixed quantization step size and variable length encoding to generate first encoded data to determine (calculate) allocated code quantity every frame or every GOP on the basis of data quantity every predetermined time, e.g., every frame or every GOP of the first encoded data and total quantity of usable data to encode the input video signal every predetermined time on the basis of the allocated code quantity to generate second encoded data. Thus, variable rate encoding such that encoding rate changes every predetermined time is realized. As a result, even if pictures (frames) of complicated paltern are successive, there is no possibility that quantization step size is caused to be large with respect to these pictures as in the conventional apparatus. Thus, uniform high picture quality can be obtained through the entirety. Further, since second encoded data obtained in a manner as described above has variable rate, in the case where such encoded data is recorded onto picture recording media, limited memory capacity can be effectively used, and recording time of picture recording media can be prolonged. In addition, picture data of high picture quality uniform over the entirety can be reproduced from the picture recording media.
