1. An encoding device including a video signal input unit for inputting a video signal output from a camera mounted on a mobile device including an outside broadcast van and a status information input unit for a camera angle and a zoom magnification of a lens, the encoding device comprising:
a control unit; and
an encoding unit,
wherein the encoding unit includes an I processing unit, a P processing unit, a motion correlation unit, a weighting unit, a determination unit, a selection unit, a buffer memory unit, and a decoding unit,
wherein the I processing unit performs an I processing based on a video signal input from the video signal input unit to output data Intra-coded Picture—CD (I-CD);
wherein the P processing unit performs a P processing based on the video signal input from the video signal input unit and a video signal of a previous frame to output data Predictive-coded Picture—CD (P-CD);
wherein the motion correlation unit outputs a matching degree signal based on the video signal input from the video signal input unit and a video signal of the previous frame;
wherein the weighting unit weights the signal from the motion correlation unit in accordance with the camera angle and the zoom magnification of the lens from the status information input unit to output the weighted signal;
wherein the determination unit determines whether the signal from the weighting unit includes a correlation value as to whether a matching degree reaches a predetermined peak and if the correlation value is an effective correlation value, then motion data My replaced is output;
wherein the selection unit selects at least one of: output of the I processing unit, output of the P processing unit, or output of the determination unit based on an Intra-coded Picture/Predictive-code Picture/Moving, motion (I/P/m) control signal from the control unit;
wherein the buffer memory unit temporally stores the signal output from the selection unit and outputs a signal on an amount of a compressed data of the stored signal to the control unit and outputs the compressed data;
wherein the decoding unit decodes the signal output from the selection unit and feedbacks the decoded signal, as a video signal of the previous frame, into the motion correlation unit; and
wherein the control unit inputs a bit rate control signal and SUM which is a signal on an amount of the compressed data stored in the buffer memory unit, and the control unit outputs a comp control signal and the I/P/m control signal to the selection unit for selecting at least one of: the data I-CD of the I processing, the data P-CD of the P processing, or the motion data Mv, the comp control signal being a control signal for increasing or decreasing a generated code amount of the I processing and the P processing.
2. The encoding device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the encoding unit further includes a motion correction unit, and
wherein the motion correction unit generates video data subjected to motion correction based on a branch signal from output of the determination unit and video data decoded by the decoding unit, and output the generated video data, as a video signal of the previous frame, to the P processing unit.
