Abstract

In a picture transmission system that transmits a series of pictures from a coding apparatus to a decoding apparatus, each picture being coded and decoded with reference to a preceding picture, when a transmission error occurs, the decoding apparatus detects a decoding error caused by the transmission error and sends an error signal to the coding apparatus. The coding apparatus and decoding apparatus then both modify part of a reference picture affected by the decoding error, making identical modifications. A subsequent picture is coded and decoded with reference to the modified reference picture, thereby recovering from the transmission error with minimum loss of coding efficiency and picture quality.
