Abstract
A progressive image signal compression coding method and apparatus are provided. If a progressive image signal composed of frames is input in units of fields, the input signal is compression-coded such that one field is compression-coded using only data from itself, and the other field is compression-coded using differential data between the previous field and that field without consideration of a motion vector, based on the characteristics of the input progressive image signal composed of frames. In such a manner, the amount of output data of the second field can be considerably reduced, so that the amount of output data of the first field increases.
