New video coding standard delivers major advances in image quality
in 3G wireless
January 4, 2003
The technical design of a new video compression standard was agreed
this week in Japan. Known as H.264/AVC, it has been developed by
a group of leading technical experts from around the world, and
promises dramatic improvements in video quality. The new standard
is likely to find use in a wide variety of applications such as
3G Wireless and is destined to revolutionize video picture quality
over wireless network.
The new standard is the achievement of the ITU and ISO/IEC Joint
Video Team (JVT), a pre-eminent group of experts from these three
international standards organizations. The new standard, which will
be known as H.264 (the ITU-T name) and as ISO/IEC 14496-10/MPEG-4
AVC (the ISO/IEC name), is expected to be published in the second
quarter of 2003.
Digital video is being used in an increasing array of applications
that have been fuelled by the development of video coding standards.
The new standard follows in the footsteps of earlier mould-breaking
video coding advances, such as H.261, H.262|MPEG2-Video (the product
of an earlier collaboration between ITU and ISO/IEC) and H.263,
but surpasses earlier video standards in terms of video quality,
compression efficiency and resilience to packet and data loss, the
type of network impairments found on the Internet. Potentially it
could halve the bandwidth necessary for digital video services.
In addition to the potential of better image quality, improved
data compression offers advantages in terms of bandwidth usage (more
channels over existing systems). The many application areas likely
to benefit include videoconferencing, video broadcast, streaming
and video on mobile devices, tele-medicine and distance learning.
