31、ndation | International Standard was developed in response to the growing need for a generic coding method of moving pictures and of associated sound for various applications such as digital storage media, television broadcasting and communication. The use of this Specification means that motion vid
32、eo can be manipulated as a form of computer data and can be stored on various storage media, transmitted and received over existing and future networks and distributed on existing and future broadcasting channels. Intro. 2 Application The applications of this Specification cover, but are not limited
33、 to, such areas as listed below: BSS Broadcasting Satellite Service (to the home) CATV Cable TV Distribution on optical networks, copper, etc. CDAD Cable Digital Audio Distribution DSB Digital Sound Broadcasting (terrestrial and satellite broadcasting) DTTB Digital Terrestrial Television Broadcastin

36、 bitrates, resolutions, qualities and services. Applications should cover, among other things, digital storage media, television broadcasting and communications. In the course of creating this Specification, various requirements from typical applications have been considered, necessary algorithmic e
37、lements have been developed, and they have been integrated into a single syntax. Hence, this Specification will facilitate the bitstream interchange among different applications. Considering the practicality of implementing the full syntax of this Specification, however, a limited number of subsets
38、of the syntax are also stipulated by means of “profile“ and “level“. These and other related terms are formally defined in clause 3. A “profile“ is a defined subset of the entire bitstream syntax that is defined by this Specification. Within the bounds imposed by the syntax of a given profile it is
39、still possible to require a very large variation in the performance of encoders and decoders depending upon the values taken by parameters in the bitstream. For instance, it is possible to specify frame sizes as large as (approximately) 214samples wide by 214lines high. It is currently neither pract
40、ical nor economic to implement a decoder capable of dealing with all possible frame sizes. In order to deal with this problem, “levels“ are defined within each profile. A level is a defined set of constraints imposed on parameters in the bitstream. These constraints may be simple limits on numbers.
41、Alternatively they may take the form of constraints on arithmetic combinations of the parameters (e.g. frame width multiplied by frame height multiplied by frame rate). Bitstreams complying with this Specification use a common syntax. In order to achieve a subset of the complete syntax, flags and pa
42、rameters are included in the bitstream that signal the presence or otherwise of syntactic elements that occur later in the bitstream. In order to specify constraints on the syntax (and hence define a profile), it is thus only necessary to constrain the values of these flags and parameters that speci
43、fy the presence of later syntactic elements. vi ISO/IEC 2000 All rights reservedISO/IEC 13818-2:2000(E)Copyright American National Standards Institute Provided by IHS under license with ANSINot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-Intro. 4 The scalable and t
44、he non-scalable syntax The full syntax can be divided into two major categories: One is the non-scalable syntax, which is structured as a super set of the syntax defined in ISO/IEC 11172-2. The main feature of the non-scalable syntax is the extra compression tools for interlaced video signals. The s
45、econd is the scalable syntax, the key property of which is to enable the reconstruction of useful video from pieces of a total bitstream. This is achieved by structuring the total bitstream in two or more layers, starting from a standalone base layer and adding a number of enhancement layers. The ba
46、se layer can use the non-scalable syntax, or in some situations conform to the ISO/IEC 11172-2 syntax. Intro. 4.1 Overview of the non-scalable syntax The coded representation defined in the non-scalable syntax achieves a high compression ratio while preserving good image quality. The algorithm is no
47、t lossless as the exact sample values are not preserved during coding. Obtaining good image quality at the bitrates of interest demands very high compression, which is not achievable with intra picture coding alone. The need for random access, however, is best satisfied with pure intra picture codin
48、g. The choice of the techniques is based on the need to balance a high image quality and compression ratio with the requirement to make random access to the coded bitstream. A number of techniques are used to achieve high compression. The algorithm first uses block-based motion compensation to reduc
49、e the temporal redundancy. Motion compensation is used both for causal prediction of the current picture from a previous picture, and for non-causal, interpolative prediction from past and future pictures. Motion vectors are defined for each 16-sample by 16-line region of the picture. The prediction error, is further compressed using the Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) to remove spatial correlation before it is q
