interlaced signal representing a current picture and
at least one other picture;
selecting either a first or second mode of
encoding, said first mode being carried out by an
intra-frame prediction encoding technique and field-
based orthogonal transformation and said second mode
being carried out by an inter-frame prediction
encoding technique and frame-based orthogonal
transformation;
predictively encoding the current picture
relative to said at least one other picture by the
prediction encoding technique that is carried out by
the selected mode of encoding; and
orthogonally transforming the predictively
encoded current picture by the orthogonal
transformation that is carried out by the selected
mode of encoding.
The reference relied on in rejecting the claims follows:
Krause et al. (Krause) 5,091,782 Feb. 25,
1992.
Claims 18 and 38-42 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C.
§ 103(a) as obvious over Krause. Rather than repeat the
arguments of the appellants or examiner in toto, we refer the
reader to the briefs and answer for the respective details
thereof.
