Disclosed are a moving-picture compression encoding apparatus comprising a motion-compensated predicting unit that includes a first cost calculator for generating cost values based upon difference information indicative of differences between prediction signals generated by a prediction signal generator and a moving-picture signal input to the moving-picture compression encoding apparatus; a preliminary selector for preliminarily selecting a plurality of blocks based upon the cost values and outputting the blocks to a second cost calculator; the second cost calculator for generating new cost values by applying a frequency conversion to the difference information regarding the block sizes that have been output from the preliminary selector; and a block size selector for selecting an optimum block size based upon the cost values resulting from the frequency conversion.       Recently Added Patents Sulfate resistant ground granulated blast furnace slag, sulfate resistant cement, and method of production of same Method and system using a bitmap for passing contactless payment card transaction variables in standardized data formats Coating compositions containing low VOC compounds Apparatus and method of reproducing virtual sound of two channels Crimp-through crimp connector for connecting a conductor cable and an electrode of an implantable cardiac electrotherapy lead SG3-to-G3 fax spoof Server evaluation of client-side script   Randomly Featured Patents Method and apparatus for forming an integral closure for a thermoplastic container One time use disposable soap and method of making Coin return chute structure of payphone Water filter Extruder screw with multiple flighting Ion adsorption module and method for water treatment Constant temperature performance laser Torsional sensing load cell Carport that protects vehicles from elements Storage container for recorded media © 2006-2008 PatentGenius.
