First Claim
1. In a method of compressing a motion picture signal divided into a plurality of blocks of digital picture data representing respective pixels, and in which each of said blocks of digital picture data is selectively compressed by a discrete cosine transform (DCT) coding method or by an intra-block predictive coding method which effects non-transform coding (NTC), said intra-block predictive coding method comprising the steps of:
- calculating a mean value of said picture data in at least one flat region within each block;
determining a representation value of each said block on the basis of said mean value thereof;
determining differences between said representation value for each block and values of said picture data representing the pixels within said block so as to generate difference values;
quantizing said difference values with a selected quantizing width so as to generate quantization coefficients;
variable length coding said quantization coefficients, said representation value and information representing said quantizing width;
adaptive scanning said quantization coefficients in accordance with a distribution status of said quantization coefficients within each block so as to convert said quantization coefficients into one-dimensional information;
coding information indicating a scanning sequence of said adaptive scanning;
selectively executing a differential processing of said one-dimensional information; and
coding switching information indicating whether or not said differential processing has been executed.

Abstract
In a method of compressing a motion picture signal divided into blocks of picture data and in which each of the blocks is selectively compressed by discrete cosine transform (DCT) coding or by intra-block predictive coding which effects non-transform coding (NTC); the intra-block predictive coding is effected by calculating a mean value of the picture data in a flat region of each block, determining a representation value of each block on the basis of the mean value thereof, determining the differences between the representation value for each block and the values of the pixels of picture data in the respective block, quantizing the resulting difference values with a selected quantizing width for generating quantizing coefficients, and variable length coding such quantizing coefficients for each block, the representation value of the respective block and the respective quantizing width. In decoding a bit stream of coded motion picture data, the bit stream is variable length decoded to generate the quantization coefficients for each block, the representation value determined on the basis of the mean value of a flat region in the respective block and information as to the quantizing width for the respective block, and then the generated quantization coefficients are decoded on the basis of the generated representation value and the information as to the quantizing width.
