<p>A digital video coding method for encoding video frames and outputting a bit stream including picture headers is provided. The digital video coding method includes the steps of identifying what is changed in a coding type between a previous frame and a current frame, and performing a predetermined bitwise logical operation with respect to a value of an indicator field of the previous frame and a bit value, wherein the bit value is determined according to the kind of change in a coding type which is identified in the above step and the indicator field is a predetermined field for indicating whether the coding type has been changed, and determining a result value of the logical operation as a value of an indicator field of the current frame. In the digital video coding method, when encoding a current frame, a value of a group of block frame identifier (GFID) field of the current frame is determined by performing a bitwise logical operation with respect to a value of a GFID field of a previous frame and a bit value representing information on the kind of change in a coding type, and the determined value is embedded in the current frame. Therefore, even if a picture header of a current picture frame is lost, the kind of change in a coding type can be estimated based on the values of GFID fields of the current and previous frames during decoding. Consequently, decoding can be performed using accurate picture header information. <IMAGE></p> |
