Video basics
In this chapter characteristics of video signals are discussed which will help in understanding how they can be exploited for bandwidth reduction without actually introducing perceptual distortions. Image formation and colour video are discussed. Interlaced/progressive video is explained, and its impact on the signal bandwidth and display units is discussed. Representation of video in digital form and the need for bit rate reductions are addressed. Finally, the image formats to be coded for various applications and their quality assessments are analysed.
