epresents the difference or error between the best-match frame block and the current to-be-coded<br />

frame block.<br />

In term of temporal location in video frames, three types of coded frames are generally<br />

generated by the codec. (1) Intra-coded frame (I-Frame) where the frame is coded independently of<br />

all the frames. (2) Predicatively coded frame or (P-Frame) where the frame is coded based on a<br />

previously coded frame. (3) Bi-directionally predicted frame (B-Frame) where the frame is coded<br />

using both previous and future coded frames. Figure 3-5 illustrates an MPEG video Group of<br />

Picture (GOP) coded using predictions dependencies between frames.<br />

Current video codecs achieve video compression by applying combination of the previously<br />

described techniques and which are: color space conversion, motion compensation, motion<br />

estimation, and signal transformation.<br />

Currently there are three families of video compression standards, performed under the<br />

auspices of ITU-T (International Telecommunication Union-Telecommunication), ISO<br />

(International Organization of Standardization) and IEC (International Electro-Technical<br />

Commission) as explained in Figure 3-6. A brief description of these standards is given in the next<br />
