Abstract
A transition in an MPEG sequence including anchor pictures and bidirectionally predicted (B) pictures is encoded by a) coding first and second anchor pictures and b) coding a transition in the sequence by inserting B pictures into the bitstream to create the transition from the first anchor picture to the second anchor picture.
Claims24
A method for encoding a transition in an MPEG bitstream sequence including anchor pictures and bidirectionally predicted (B) pictures, said method comprising the steps of:
- a) coding first and second anchor pictures;
- and
- b) coding a transition in the sequence by inserting B pictures into the bitstream to create the transition from the first anchor picture to the second anchor picture.
A method for encoding a transition in an MPEG bitstream sequence including anchor pictures and predicted (P) pictures, said method comprising the steps of:
- a) coding a first anchor picture;
- and
- b) coding a transition by inserting P pictures into the bitstream to create the transition from the first anchor picture to a second anchor picture.
