VIDEO CODING METHOD AND CORRESPONDING TRANSMITTABLE VIDEO SIGNAL

摘要

The invention relates to a video coding method applied to a sequence of video frames and generating a coded bitstream constituted of video data that represent all the video object planes and are described in terms of separate channels. In said video data, each data item is described by means of a bitstream syntax allowing any decoder to recognize and decode all the segments of the content of said bitstream. The temporal resolution of the sequence is described by means of some specific syntactic elements. According to the invention, which finds an application for instance within the video compression standards of the MPEG family, the syntax also comprises specific flags for describing, in the coded bitstream, the maximum frame rate of each described channel.
