9、Recommendations. Rec. ITU-T H.273 (12/2016) i Recommendation ITU-T H.273 Coding-independent code points for video signal type identification Summary Recommendation ITU-T H.273 defines various code points and fields that establish properties of a video (or still image) representation and are independ

10、ent of the compression encoding and bit rate. These properties may describe the appropriate interpretation of decoded data or may, similarly, describe the characteristics of such a signal before the signals compressed by an encoder that is suitable for compressing such an input signal. The text was

11、developed as a twin text Recommendation corresponding to the video code points in ISO/IEC 23001-8:2016 and its Amendment 1 in collaboration with ISO/IEC JTC 1 SC 29/WG 11 (MPEG). It is published as technically aligned twin text by both organizations (ITU-T and ISO/IEC). History Edition Recommendatio

ITU-T H.273 (12/2016) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications,

14、information and communication technologies (ICTs). The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on

15、a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid dow

16、n in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication

17、administration and a recognized operating agency. Compliance with this Recommendation is voluntary. However, the Recommendation may contain certain mandatory provisions (to ensure, e.g., interoperability or applicability) and compliance with the Recommendation is achieved when all of these mandatory

18、 provisions are met. The words “shall“ or some other obligatory language such as “must“ and the negative equivalents are used to express requirements. The use of such words does not suggest that compliance with the Recommendation is required of any party. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTSITU draws attent

19、ion to the possibility that the practice or implementation of this Recommendation may involve the use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of claimed Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or others

20、outside of the Recommendation development process. As of the date of approval of this Recommendation, ITU had not received notice of intellectual property, protected by patents, which may be required to implement this Recommendation.

ITU-T H.273 (12/2016) v Introduction In a number of specifications, there is a need to identify some characteristic

30、s of video (or still image) media content that are logically independent of the compression format. These characteristics may include, for example, aspects that relate to the sourcing or presentation or the role of the video (or still image) media component. These characteristics have typically been

31、 documented by fields that take an encoded value or item selected from an enumerated list, herein called code points. These code points are typically defined in the specification of compression formats to document these characteristics of the media. In past practice, the definition of these fields h

32、as been copied from standard to standard, sometimes with new values being added in later standards (and sometimes with later amendments specified to add new entries to existing standards). This past practice has raised a number of issues, including the following. 1) A lack of a formal way to avoid c

33、onflicting assignments being made in different standards. 2) Having additional values defined in later specifications that may be practically used with older compression formats, but without clear formal applicability of these new values to older standards. 3) Any update or correction of code point

34、semantics can incur significant effort to update all standards in which the code point is specified, instead of enabling a single central specification to apply across different referencing specifications. 4) The choice of reference for other specifications (such as container or delivery formats) no

35、t being obvious; wherein a formal reference to a compression format standard appears to favour that one format over others and also appears to preclude definitions defined in other compression format specifications. 5) Burdensome maintenance needs to ensure that a reference to material defined in a

36、compression format specification is maintained appropriately over different revisions of the referenced format specification, as the content of a compression format specification may change over time and is ordinarily not intended as a point of reference for defining such code points. This Specifica

37、tion provides a central definition of such code points for video and image applications to address these issues. This Specification can be used to provide universal descriptions to assist interpretation of video and image signals following decoding or to describe the properties of these signals befo

38、re they are encoded. Rec.

44、ce signals related to the primary colours, represented by the symbols Cb and Cr. NOTE The term chroma is used rather than the term chrominance in order to avoid the implication of the use of linear light transfer characteristics that is often associated with the term chrominance. 3.2 component: Arra

45、y or single sample from one of the three arrays (luma and two chroma) that compose a picture in 4:2:0, 4:2:2 or 4:4:4 colour format or the array or a single sample of the array that compose a picture in monochrome format. 3.3 luma: Sample array or single sample representing the monochrome signal rel

46、ated to the primary colours, represented by the symbol or subscript Y or L. NOTE The term luma is used rather than the term luminance in order to avoid the implication of the use of linear light transfer characteristics that is often associated with the term luminance. The symbol L is sometimes used

47、 instead of the symbol Y to avoid confusion with the symbol y as used for vertical location. 3.4 picture: An array of luma samples in monochrome format or an array of luma samples and two corresponding arrays of chroma samples in 4:2:0, 4:2:2 and 4:4:4 colour format. 3.5 reserved: Values of a partic
