ITU-T Recommendation H.263 "Video Coding for Low Bitrate Communication", Dec. 1995 |
based on H.261 (MPEG-like method) |
spectral redundancy: luminance + 2 color difference components - YUV (CCIR Recommendation 601) |
spatial redundancy: blocked DCT transform coding (JPEG-like), Syntax-based Arithmetic Coding |
temporal redundancy: half-pixel block motion prediction and compensation, Unrestricted Motion Vectors, Advanced Prediction, PB-frames |
stream hierarchy: [I|P|PB]-frame, group of macroblocks, macroblock (motion vectors), block (8x8 DCT coefficients) |
random access: to I-frame, implementor decides where to insert I-frame |
