Abstract

H.264/AVC is a recently completed video compression standard jointly developed by ITU - T and ISO MPEG standards committees. The standard i s becoming more popular as it promises much higher compression than that possible with earlier standards. The intent of the H.264/AVC project was to create a standard capable of providing good video quality at substantially lower bit rates than previous st andards (i.e., half or less the bit rate of MPEG - 2, H.263, or MPEG - 4 Part 2), without increasing the complexity of design so much that it would be impractical or excessively expensive to implement. This paper provides an overview of the technical features of H.264 and summarizes the emerging studies related to new coding features of the standard.
