Method and configuration for coding a digitized picture, and method and configuration for decoding a digitized picture

A method for decoding a compressed picture, the method which comprises:

• providing a compressed picture having pixels and providing coding information allocated to the pixels, the pixels being grouped into picture blocks, the picture blocks being grouped into at least a first picture region and a second picture region, the picture blocks, motion vectors of the picture blocks in the first picture region and an overall motion vector being coded, the overall motion vector being used to describe a shift of the first picture region in comparison to the first picture region in at least one of a previous predecessor picture and a subsequent successor picture;
• and
• carrying out a decoding of the compressed picture by using the overall motion vector for decoding at least some of the picture blocks in the second picture region.

A configuration for decoding a compressed picture, comprising:

• a processor configured to process a compressed picture having pixels and coding information allocated to the pixels, the pixels being grouped into picture blocks, the picture blocks being grouped into at least a first picture region and a second picture region, the picture blocks, motion vectors of the picture blocks in the first picture region and an overall motion vector being coded, the overall motion vector being used to describe a shift of the first picture region in comparison to the first picture region in at least one of a previous predecessor picture and a subsequent successor picture;
• and
• said processor carrying out a decoding of the compressed picture by using the overall motion vector for decoding at least some of the picture blocks in the second picture region.
