Study on the Core Technology of New Video Coding Standards H.264/AVC

We introduce briefly the basic principle of the standardized coding/decoding H.264/AVC. We have analyzed and studied in detail the core technology of H.264/AVC standard, including motion estimation and motion compensation, forecasts in a frame and between the frames, integer transform and quantization analysis, entropy coding methods, deblock filter, new photographic image type, aspect-oriented IP and wireless environment, etc. The H.264/AVC standard has solved the contradiction between the image quality and the coding efficiency, its effect is obvious, but many advantages acquired exchange for the sacrifice of computing complexity, therefore, to achieve greater coding efficiency will be the next studying emphasis at the same time of reducing the computing complexity.
