A METHOD AND MANAGING REFERENCE FRAME AND FIELD BUFFERS IN ADAPTIVE FRAME/FIELD ENCODING

摘要

A method and encoder for managing a frame buffer and a field buffer for temporal prediction with motion compensation with multiple reference pictures in adaptive frame/field encoding of digital video content. The encoder comprises the frame buffer and the field buffer. The digital video content comprises a stream of pictures. The pictures can each be intra, predicted, or bidirectionally interpolated pictures.
