Introduction to H.264 advanced video coding

摘要

We give a tutorial on video coding principles and standards with emphasis on the latest technology called H.264 or MPEG-4 part 10. We describe a basic method called block-based hybrid coding employed by most video coding standards. We use graphical illustration to show the functionality. This paper is suitable for those who are interested in implementing video codec in embedded software, pure hardwired, or a combination of both.
