Abstract

A coding method and apparatus is for coding a digital video signal of interlaced type. Three-dimensional (horizontal, vertical and temporal directions) blocks are constructed for each of a plurality of picture elements, orthogonal transform is performed to each of the three-dimensional blocks and coefficients are coded. Coefficients non-effected by a pseudo-moving part are weighted with a low rate, and coefficients effected by a pseudo-moving part are weighted with high rate. After the vertical positions of picture elements of odd-number fields and those of even-number fields are coincided with each other by an intra-field picture element operation, the digital video signal is formatted and three-dimensional orthogonal transform is performed.
