frames are used in conjunction with the motion vectors to produce a predicted frame the entropy decoding section 310 also decodes the quantized coefficients that are representative of the transform input image the decoded quantized coefficients are forwarded to the inverse quantizer 320 and inverse transform 330 where the inverse quantization and inverse transform are applied to the quantized coefficients namely the quantized coefficients are converted into decoded pixel values which are forwarded to coefficients recovery section 335 which applies method 200 as discussed above finally the adjusted pixel values are added to a predicted block if any to produce the decoded input image or picture on path 340 fig4 illustrates a decoding system 400 of the present invention the decoding system 400 is coupled to an encoding system not shown via a communication channel 405 the present invention is not limited to any particular type of communication channel the decoding system 400 comprises a general purpose computer 410 and various input output devices 420 the general purpose computer comprises a central processing unit cpu 412 a memory 414 and an decoder 416 for receiving and decoding a sequence of encoded images in the preferred embodiment the decoder 416 is simply the decoder 300 as discussed above the decoder 416 can be a physical device which is coupled to the cpu 412 through a communication channel alternatively the decoder 416 can be represented by a software application which.
