BITPLANE CODING AND DECODING FOR AC PREDICTION STATUS AND MACROBLOCK FIELD/FRAME CODING TYPE INFORMATION

摘要

In one aspect, for a first interlaced video frame in a video sequence, a decoder decodes a bitplane signaled at frame layer for the first interlaced video frame. The bitplane represents field/frame transform types for plural macroblocks of the first interlaced video frame. For a second interlaced video frame in the video sequence, for each of at least one but not all of plural macroblocks of the second interlaced video frame, the decoder processes a per macroblock field/frame transform type bit signaled at macroblock layer. An encoder performs corresponding encoding.
